And to do service in the house: to slay burnt offerings and sacrifices for the people; to stand before them, and to serve them; ¹² seeing the service that they do them, is before their Idols, and cause the house of Israel to stumble through wickedness? For the which cause I have plucked out mine hand over them, sayeth the LORD God, so that now they must bear their own iniquity, ¹³ and not to come nigh me, to serve me with their priesthead in my Sanctuary, and most holiest of all: that they may bear their own shame and abominations, which they have done. ¹⁴ Should I use them to be porters of the house, and to all the service that is done therein?

¹ And now, O ye priests, this commandment toucheth you. ² If ye will not hear it, nor regard it, to give the glory unto my name, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, I will send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings. Yea, curse them will I if ye do not take heed. ³ Behold, I shall corrupt your seed, and cast dung in your faces: even the dung of your solemn feasts and it shall cleave fast upon you. ⁴ And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you: that my covenant which I made with Levi, might stand, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. ⁵ I made a covenant of life and peace with him: this I gave him, that he might stand in awe of me: and so he did fear me, and had my name in reverence. ⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and there was no wickedness found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many one away from their sins. ⁷ For the priest's lips should be sure knowledge, that men may seek the law at his mouth, for he is a messenger of the LORD of Hosts.

¹⁷ And say to Archippus, "Take heed to the office that thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."

¹⁸ This commandment commit I unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which in time past were prophesied of thee, that thou in them shouldest fight a good fight,

² And what things thou hast heard of me, many bearing witness, the same deliver to faithful men, which are apt to teach others.
