CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

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

2 H8085 If you will not hear, H7760 and if you will not lay H3820 it to heart, H5414 to give H3519 glory H8034 unto my name, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H7971 I will even send H3994 a curse H779 upon you, and I will curse H1293 your blessings: H779 Yes, I have cursed H7760 them already, because you do not lay H3820 it to heart.

3 H1605 Behold, I will corrupt H2233 your seed, H2219 and spread H6569 dung H6440 upon your faces, H6569 even the dung H2282 of your solemn feasts; H5375 and one shall take you away with it.

4 H3045 And you shall know H7971 that I have sent H4687 this commandment H1285 unto you, that my covenant H3878 might be with Levi, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

5 H1285 My covenant H2416 was with him of life H7965 and peace; H5414 and I gave H4172 them to him for the fear H3372 with which he feared H2865 me, and was afraid H6440 before H8034 my name.

6 H8451 The law H571 of truth H6310 was in his mouth, H5766 and iniquity H4672 was not found H8193 in his lips: H1980 he walked H7965 with me in peace H4334 and equity, H7725 and did turn 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 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

8 H5493 But you are departed H1870 out of the way; H7227 you have caused many H3782 to stumble H8451 at the law; H7843 you have corrupted H1285 the covenant H3878 of Levi, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.
