1 And now, this commandment Is for you, O ye priests. 2 If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, To give glory unto My name, Saith the LORD of hosts, Then will I send the curse upon you, And I will curse your blessings; Yea, I curse them, Because ye do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, And will spread dung upon your faces, Even the dung of your sacrifices; And ye shall be taken away unto it. 4 Know then that I have sent This commandment unto you, That My covenant might be with Levi, Saith the LORD of hosts. 5 My covenant was with him Of life and peace, and I gave them to him, And of fear, and he feared Me, And was afraid 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 did turn many away from iniquity.
