Malachi 2:3

An Oracle Against The Temple Priesthood

² If ye hearken not, and if ye lay it not to heart, To give honour to My name, said Jehovah of Hosts, I have sent against you the curse, And I have cursed your blessings, Yea, I have also cursed it, Because ye are not laying it to heart. ³ Lo, I am pushing away before you the seed, And have scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And it hath taken you away with it. ⁴ And ye have known that I have sent unto you this charge, For My covenant being with Levi, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
