CHAP. II.
1 He sharply reproveth the priests for neglecting
their covenant; 11 and the people for
idolatry, 14 for adultery, 17 and for infidelity.
1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment
is for you.
2 noteIf ye will not hear, and if ye will
not lay it to heart, to give glory to my
name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even
send a curse upon you, and I will curse
your blessings; yes, I have cursed them
already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will note corrupt your seed,
and note spread dung upon your faces, even
the dung of your solemn feasts; and note one
shall take you away with it.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent
this commandment to you, that my covenant
might be with Levi, saith the Lord
of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life
and peace; and I gave them to him for
the fear with which he feared me, and
was afraid before my name.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth,
and iniquity was not found in his lips:
he walked with me in peace and equity,
and turned many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should keep
knowledge, and they should seek the law
at his mouth: for he is the messenger of
the Lord of hosts.
8 But ye have departed out of the way;
ye have caused many to note stumble at the
law; ye have corrupted the covenant of
Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible
and base before all the people,
according as ye have not kept my ways,
but note note have been partial in the law.
10 noteHave we not all one father? hath
not one God created us? why do we deal
treacherously every man against his
brother, by profaning the covenant of
our fathers?
11 ¶2; Judah hath dealt treacherously,
and an abomination is committed in Israel
and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath
profaned the holiness of the Lord whom
he note loved, and hath married the daughter
of a note strange god.
12 The Lord will cut off the man that
doeth this, note the master and the scholar,
out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him
that offereth an offering to the Lord of
hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, covering
the altar of the Lord with tears,
with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch
that he regardeth not the offering
any more, or receiveth it with good will
at your hand.
14 ¶2; Yet ye say, Why? Because the
Lord hath been witness between thee
and the wife of thy youth, against whom
thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she
thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did he not make one? Yet had
he the note residue of the spirit. And why
one? That he might seek note a godly seed.
Therefore take heed to your spirit, and
let none deal note treacherously against the
wife of his youth.
16 For the Lord, the God of Israel,
saith, note that he hateth note putting away:
for one covereth violence with his garment,
saith the Lord of hosts: therefore
take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not
treacherously.
17 ¶2; Ye have wearied the Lord with
your words. Yet ye say, In what have
we wearied him? When ye say, Every
one that doeth evil is good in the sight of
the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or,
Where is the God of judgment?
