Malachi 2: 1 - 2, 8 - 10

"And now, O priests, this command is for you.

If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.

But you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts,
|
| 9
|
and so I make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you have not kept my ways but have shown partiality in your instruction."

| 10
|
Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
