Malachi 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 If ye will not hear it, nor consider it in your heart, to give glory [a]unto my Name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and will curse your [b]blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not consider it in your heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt [c]your seed, and cast dung upon your faces, even the [d]dung of your solemn feasts, and you shall be like unto it.
4 And ye shall know, that I have [e]sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant, which I made with Levi, might stand, saith the Lord of hosts.
