MLV(i)
1 And now, O you* priests, this commandment is for you*.
2 If you* will not hear and if you* will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Jehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you* and I will curse your* blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you* do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will rebuke your* seed and will spread manure upon your* faces, even the manure of your* feasts and you* will be taken away with it.
4 And you* will know that I have sent this commandment to you*, that my covenant may be with Levi, says Jehovah of hosts. 5 My covenant of life and peace was with him. And I gave them to him that he might fear and he feared me and stood in awe 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 turned many away from iniquity. 7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.
8 But you* are turned aside out of the way. You* have caused many to stumble in the law. You* have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of hosts.
