Chap. II.
note
Priestes are further reprehended because they discharged not wel their great
office. 10. Both they and others offended in marying strangers. 14. They
ought to loue, and not lightly dismisse their wiues.
1 And now to you this commandment note รด ye priests.
2 If
you wil not heare, and if you wil not set it vpon the hart,
-- --
to geue glorie to my name, sayth the Lord of hosts: I note wil send
vpon you pouertie, & wil curse your blessings, and I wil curse
them: because you haue not set it vpon the hart.
3 Behold I wil
cast forth to you the arme, and wil spinkle vpon your face the
dung of your solemnities, and it shal take you with it.
4 And
you shal know that I sent you this commandment, that my
couenant might be with Leui, sayth the Lord of hosts.
5 My
couenant was with him of life and peace: & I gaue him feare:
and he feared me, and at the face of my name he was afrayd.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquitie was not
found in his lippes in peace, and in equitie he walked with me,
and turned away manie from iniquitie.
7 For note the lippes of the
priest shal keepe knowlege, and the law they shal require of
his mouth: because he is note the angel of the Lord of hosts.
8 But
you haue departed out of the way, and haue scandalized manie
in the law: you haue made voide the couenant of Leui, sayth
the Lord of hosts.
9 noteFor which cause I also haue made you
contemtible, and base to al peoples, as you haue not kept my
wayes, and haue accepted face in the law.
10 Why, is there not
one father of vs al? hath not one God created vs? why then
doth euerie one of vs despise his brother, violating the couenant
of our fathers?
11 Iuda hath transgressed, and abomination
was done in Israel, and in Ierusalem: because Iudas hath
contaminated the sanctification of our Lord, which he loued,
and hath had the daughter of a strange god.
12 Our Lord wil
destroy the man, that hath done this, the master, & the scholar
out of the tabernacles of Iacob, & him that offereth gift to the
Lord of hosts.
13 And this agayne haue you done, you couered
the altar of the Lord with teares, with weeping, and
howling, so that I haue respect no more to sacrifice, neither
do I accept any placable thing at your hand.
14 And you haue
sayd: For what cause? because the Lord hath testified betwen
thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast despised: and
she thy partaker, and the wife of thy couenant.
15 Did not one
make, and the residue of the spirit is his? And what doth one
seeke, but the seede of God? Keepe ye then your spirit, and
the wife of thy youth despise thou not.
16 When thou shalt
hate, dismisse, sayth our Lord the God of Israel: but iniquitie
shal couer his garment, saith the Lord of hosts, keepe ye
your spirit, and do not despise.
17 You haue in your wordes
made our Lord to labour: and you sayd: Wherein haue we
-- --
made him to labour? In that you say: Euerie one that doth
euil, is good in the sight of our Lord, and such please him:
or certes where is the God of iudgement?
