Malachi 2:3

² If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart. ³ See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it. ⁴ And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.
