ASV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H3548 And now, O ye priests, H4687 this commandment is for you.

2 H8085 If ye will not hear, H7760 and if ye will not lay H3820 it to heart, H5414 to give H3519 glory H8034 unto my name, H559 saith H3068 Jehovah H6635 of hosts, H7971 then will I send H3994 the curse H779 upon you, and I will curse H1293 your blessings; H779 yea, I have cursed H7760 them already, because ye do not lay H3820 it to heart.

3 H1605 Behold, I will rebuke H2233 your seed, H2219 and will spread H6569 dung H6440 upon your faces, H6569 even the dung H2282 of your feasts; H5375 and ye shall be taken away with it.

4 H3045 And ye shall know H7971 that I have sent H4687 this commandment H1285 unto you, that my covenant H3878 may be with Levi, H559 saith H3068 Jehovah H6635 of hosts.

5 H1285 My covenant H2416 was with him of life H7965 and peace; H5414 and I gave H4172 them to him that he might fear; H3372 and he feared H6440 me, and stood H2865 in awe H8034 of my name.

6 H8451 The law H571 of truth H6310 was in his mouth, H5766 and unrighteousness H4672 was not found H8193 in his lips: H1980 he walked H7965 with me in peace H4334 and uprightness, H7725 and turned H7227 many H7725 away H5771 from iniquity.

7 H3548 For the priest's H8193 lips H8104 should keep H1847 knowledge, H1245 and they should seek H8451 the law H6310 at his mouth; H4397 for he is the messenger H3068 of Jehovah H6635 of hosts.

8 H5493 But ye are turned H1870 aside out of the way; H7227 ye have caused many H3782 to stumble H8451 in the law; H7843 ye have corrupted H1285 the covenant H3878 of Levi, H559 saith H3068 Jehovah H6635 of hosts.
