1 And now, O priests, this command is to you. 2 If you will refuse to listen, and if you will refuse to take it to heart, so as to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, I will send destitution upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I will curse them. For you have not taken it to heart. 3 Behold, I will cast forth an arm to you, and I will scatter across your face the dung of your solemnities, and it will take you to itself. 4 And you will know that I sent you this commandment, so that my covenant might be with Levi, says the Lord of hosts. 5 My covenant was with him for life and peace. And I gave him fear, and he feared me, and he was afraid before the face of my name. Malachi 2:1-5, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
