Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

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

2 H8085 [H8799] If ye will not hear H7760 [H8799] , and if ye will not lay H3820 it to heart H5414 [H8800] , to give H3519 glory H8034 to my name H559 [H8804] , saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H7971 [H8765] , I will even send H3994 a curse H779 [H8804] upon you, and I will curse H1293 your blessings H779 [H8804] : yea, I have cursed H7760 [H8802] them already, because ye do not lay H3820 it to heart.

3 H1605 [H8802] Behold, I will corrupt H2233 your seed H2219 [H8765] , and spread H6569 dung H6440 upon your faces H6569 , even the dung H2282 of your solemn feasts H5375 [H8804] ; and one shall take you away with it.

4 H3045 [H8804] And ye shall know H7971 [H8765] that I have sent H4687 this commandment H1285 to you, that my covenant H3878 might be with Levi H559 [H8804] , saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

5 H1285 My covenant H2416 was with him of life H7965 and peace H5414 [H8799] ; and I gave H4172 them to him for the fear H3372 [H8799] which he feared H2865 [H8738] 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 [H8738] was not found H8193 in his lips H1980 [H8804] : he walked H7965 with me in peace H4334 and equity H7725 0 , and turned H7227 many H7725 [H8689] away H5771 from iniquity.

7 H3548 For the priest's H8193 lips H8104 [H8799] should keep H1847 knowledge H1245 [H8762] , 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 [H8804] But ye have departed H1870 out of the way H7227 ; ye have caused many H3782 [H8689] to stumble H8451 at the law H7843 [H8765] ; ye have corrupted H1285 the covenant H3878 of Levi H559 [H8804] , saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.
