Malachi 2:2-6
English Standard Version Anglicised
2 (A)If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honour to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send (B)the curse upon you and I will curse (C)your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, (D)I will rebuke your offspring,[a] and (E)spread dung on your faces, the (F)dung of your offerings, and you shall be taken away with it.[b] 4 So shall you know that I have sent (G)this command to you, that (H)my covenant with Levi may stand, says the Lord of hosts. 5 My covenant with him was one of life and (I)peace, and I gave them to him. (J)It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. 6 (K)True instruction[c] was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he (L)turned many from iniquity.
