CHAP. II.
1 He sharpely reprooueth the Priests for neglecting
their couenant. 11 and the people
for idolatrie, 14 for adulterie, 17 and
for infidelitie.
The people, and Priests, reproued.
1
And now, O yee Priests,
this commaundement is
for you.
2
If ye will not heare,
and if yee will not lay it to
heart, to giue glory vnto my name, saith
the Lord of hostes; I will euen send
a note curse vpon you, and will curse
your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them
already, because yee doe not lay it to
heart.
3
Behold, I will note corrupt your seed,
and note spread doung vpon your faces, euen
the doung of your solemne feasts, and
note one shall take you away with it.
4
And yee shall know that I haue
sent this commaundement vnto you,
that my couenant might be with Leui,
saith the Lord of hostes.
5
My couenant was with him of
life and peace, and I gaue them to him,
for the feare, wherewith he feared mee,
and was afraid before my name.
6
The law of truth was in his
mouth, and iniquitie was not found in
his lips: he walked with me in peace
and equitie, and did turne many away
from iniquitie.
7
For the priests lips should keepe
knowledge, and they should seeke the
law at his mouth: for he is the messenger
of the Lord of hostes.
8
But yee are departed out of the
way: ye haue caused many to note stumble
at the law: ye haue corrupted the couenant
of Leui, saith the Lord of
hostes.
9
Therefore haue I also made you
contemptible and base before al the people,
according as yee haue not kept my
wayes, but note haue bin partiall in þe; law.
10
noteHaue we not all one father? hath
not one God created vs? Why doe we
deale treacherously euery man against
his brother, by prophaning the couenant
of our fathers?
11
¶ Iudah hath dealt treacherously,
and an abomination is committed in
Israel and in Ierusalem: for Iudah
hath prophaned the holinesse of the
Lord which note he loued, and hath maried
the daughter of a strange God.
12
The Lord will cut off the man
that doth this: the note Master and the
scholler out of the tabernacles of Iacob,
and him that offereth an offring
vnto the Lord of hostes.
13
And this haue yee done againe,
couering the Altar of the Lord with
-- --
God witnesseth against sinners.
teares, with weeping and with crying
out, in so much that hee regardeth not
the offering any more, or receiueth it
with good will at your hand.
14
¶ Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because
the Lord hath bene witnes betweene
thee and the wife of thy youth, against
whome thou hast dealt treacherously:
yet is she thy companion, and the wife of
thy couenant.
15
And did not he make one? yet had
he the note residue of the spirit: and wherefore
one? that hee might seeke note a godly
seed: therefore take heed to your spirit,
and let none deale note treacherously against
the wife of his youth.
16
For the Lord the God of Israel
saith, that note he hateth note putting away:
for one couereth violence with
his garment, saith the Lord of hosts,
therfore take heed to your spirit, that ye
deale not treacherously.
17
¶ Ye haue wearied the Lord
with your words: yet ye say, Wherein
haue we wearied him? when ye say, Euery
one that doeth euill, is good in the
sight of the Lord, and he delighteth
in them, or where is the God of iudgement?
