Mal 2

1. This commandment is for priests.

2. If you don't pay attention I will curse you and have already cursed you.

3. I will rebuke your children. And make your reputation as dung. And make your celebrations abomination.

4. You know that I made a covenant with Levi which carries to you priests:

5. My covenant was of life and peace. I gave him the fear/awe derived from the revelation of holiness. מורא

6. He preached truth, and did not sin in his speech. He lived in peace and fairness and led others to repentance.

7. For the priest should preach with knowledge, and he should seek the holiness of God with his speech. Because he is my messenger.

8. But you are corrupt. You have caused others to reject the law. You have corrupted my covenant with Levi.

9. Therefor I have made you like dung before the people, because you have shown partiality in the law.

10.
