1 โ€œNow, you priests, this commandment is for you.

2 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies, โ€œthen will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.

3 Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and will spread dung on your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

4 You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.

5 โ€œMy covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent toward me, and stood in awe of my name.

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.

7 For the priestโ€™s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Armies.

8 But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.

9 โ€œTherefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.

10 Donโ€™t we all have one father? Hasnโ€™t one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

12 Yahweh will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him who offers an offering to Yahweh of Armies.

13 This again you do: you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesnโ€™t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.

14 Yet you say, โ€˜Why?โ€™ Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.

15 Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

16 For I hate divorceโ€, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, โ€œand him who covers his garment with violence!โ€ says Yahweh of Armies. โ€œTherefore take heed to your spirit, that you donโ€™t deal treacherously.

17 You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, โ€˜How have we wearied him?โ€™ In that you say, โ€˜Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and he delights in them;โ€™ or โ€˜Where is the God of justice?โ€™
