2:1 And
now,
O
ye
priests,
this
commandment
is
for
you.
2:2 If
ye
will
not
hear,
and
if
ye
will
not
lay
it
to
heart,
to
give
glory
unto
my
name,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
then
will
I
send
the
curse
upon
you,
and
I
will
curse
your
blessings;
yea,
I
have
cursed
them
already,
because
ye
do
not
lay
it
to
heart.
2:3 Behold,
I
will
rebuke
your
seed,
and
will
spread
dung
upon
your
faces,
even
the
dung
of
your
feasts;
and
ye
shall
be
taken
away
with
it.
2:4 And
ye
shall
know
that
I
have
sent
this
commandment
unto
you,
that
my
covenant
may
be
with
Levi,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
2:5 My
covenant
was
with
him
of
life
and
peace;
and
I
gave
them
to
him
that
he
might
fear;
and
he
feared
me,
and
stood
in
awe
of
my
name.
2:6 The
law
of
truth
was
in
his
mouth,
and
unrighteousness
was
not
found
in
his
lips:
he
walked
with
me
in
peace
and
uprightness,
and
turned
many
away
from
iniquity.
2:7 For
the
priest's
lips
should
keep
knowledge,
and
they
should
seek
the
law
at
his
mouth;
for
he
is
the
messenger
of
Jehovah
of
hosts.
2:8 But
ye
are
turned
aside
out
of
the
way;
ye
have
caused
many
to
stumble
in
the
law;
ye
have
corrupted
the
covenant
of
Levi,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
2:9 Therefore
have
I
also
made
you
contemptible
and
base
before
all
the
people,
according
as
ye
have
not
kept
my
ways,
but
have
had
respect
of
persons
in
the
law.
2:10 Have
we
not
all
one
father
hath
not
one
God
created
us
why
do
we
deal
treacherously
every
man
against
his
brother,
profaning
the
covenant
of
our
fathers
2:11 Judah
hath
dealt
treacherously,
and
an
abomination
is
committed
in
Israel
and
in
Jerusalem;
for
Judah
hath
profaned
the
holiness
of
Jehovah
which
he
loveth,
and
hath
married
the
daughter
of
a
foreign
god.
2:12 Jehovah
will
cut
off,
to
the
man
that
doeth
this,
him
that
waketh
and
him
that
answereth,
out
of
the
tents
of
Jacob,
and
him
that
offereth
an
offering
unto
Jehovah
of
hosts.
2:13 And
this
again
ye
do:
ye
cover
the
altar
of
Jehovah
with
tears,
with
weeping,
and
with
sighing,
insomuch
that
he
regardeth
not
the
offering
any
more,
neither
receiveth
it
with
good
will
at
your
hand.
2:14 Yet
ye
say,
Wherefore
Because
Jehovah
hath
been
witness
between
thee
and
the
wife
of
thy
youth,
against
whom
thou
hast
dealt
treacherously,
though
she
is
thy
companion,
and
the
wife
of
thy
covenant.
2:15 And
did
he
not
make
one,
although
he
had
the
residue
of
the
Spirit
And
wherefore
one
He
sought
a
godly
seed.
Therefore
take
heed
to
your
spirit,
and
let
none
deal
treacherously
against
the
wife
of
his
youth.
2:16 For
I
hate
putting
away,
saith
Jehovah,
the
God
of
Israel,
and
him
that
covereth
his
garment
with
violence,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
therefore
take
heed
to
your
spirit,
that
ye
deal
not
treacherously.
2:17 Ye
have
wearied
Jehovah
with
your
words.
Yet
ye
say,
Wherein
have
we
wearied
him
In
that
ye
say,
Every
one
that
doeth
evil
is
good
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
and
he
delighteth
in
them;
or
where
is
the
God
of
justice
