Priests to Be Disciplined

Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:1 -

“And now H6258, this H2088 commandment H4687 is for you, the priests H3548.

Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:2 - “If H518 you do not listen H8085, and if H518 you do not take H7760 it to heart H3820 to give H5414 honor H3519 to My name H8034,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, “then I will send H7971 the curse H3994 upon you and I will curse H779 your blessings H1293; and indeed H1571, I have cursed H779 them already, because H3588 you are not taking H7760 it to heart H3820.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:3 - “Behold H2009, I am going to rebuke H1605 your [fn]descendants H2233, and I will spread H2219 [fn]dung H6569 on your faces H6440, the [fn]dung H6569 of your feasts H2282; and you will be taken H5375 away [fn]with it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:4 - “Then you will know H3045 that I have sent H7971 this H2088 commandment H4687 to you, [fn]so that My covenant H1285 may [fn]continue H1961 with Levi H3878,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:5 - “My covenant H1285 with him was one of life H2416 and peace H7965, and I gave H5414 them to him as an object of [fn]reverence H4172; so he [fn]revered H3372 Me and was H2865 in H2865 awe H2865 of My name H8034.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:6 - [fn]True H571 instruction H8451 was in his mouth H6310 and injustice H5766 was not found H4672 on his lips H8193; he walked H1980 with Me in peace H7965 and justice H4334, and he turned H7725 many H7227 back H7725 from wrongdoing H5771.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:7 - “For the lips H8193 of a priest H3548 should maintain H8104 knowledge H1847, and people should seek H1245 [fn]instruction H8451 from his mouth H6310; for he is the messenger H4397 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:8 - “But as for you, you have turned H5493 aside H5493 from the way H1870; you have caused many H7227 to stumble H3782 [fn]by the instruction H8451; you have ruined H7843 the covenant H1285 of Levi H3878,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:9 - “So I also H1571 have made H5414 you despised H959 and of low H8217 reputation H8217 [fn]in the view of all H3605 the people H5971, since H6310 H834 you are not keeping H8104 My ways H1870 but are showing H5375 partiality H5375 H6440 in the [fn]instruction H8451.”

Sin in the Family

Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:10 -

Do we not all H3605 have one H259 Father H1? Is it not one H259 God H410 who has created H1254 us? Why H4069 do we deal H898 treacherously H898, each H376 against his brother H251 so as to profane H2490 the covenant H1285 of our fathers H1?

Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:11 - Judah H3063 has dealt H898 treacherously H898, and an abomination H8441 has been committed H6213 in Israel H3478 and in Jerusalem H3389; for Judah H3063 has profaned H2490 the sanctuary H6944 of the LORD H3068 [fn]which H834 He loves H157, and has married H1166 the daughter H1323 of a foreign H5236 god H410.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:12 - As for the man H376 who H834 does H6213 this, may the LORD H3068 eliminate H3772 from the tents H168 of Jacob H3290 everyone who is H5782 awake H5782 and answers H6030, or who presents H5066 [fn]an offering H4503 to the LORD H3068 of armies H6635.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:13 -

And this H2088 is [fn]another H8145 thing H8145 you do H6213: you cover H3680 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 with tears H1832, with weeping H1065 and sighing H603, because H4480 He no H369 longer H5750 gives H6437 attention H6437 to the [fn]offering H4503 or accepts H3947 it with favor H7522 from your hand H3027.

Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:14 - Yet you say H559, “For H5921 what H4100 reason H5921 H4100?” Because H5921 H3588 the LORD H3068 has been H5749 a H5749 witness H5749 between H996 you and the wife H802 of your youth H5271, against whom H834 you have dealt H898 treacherously H898, though she is your marriage H2278 companion H2278 and your wife H802 by covenant H1285.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:15 - [fn]But not one H259 has done H6213 so who has a remnant H7605 of the Spirit H7307. And [fn]why H4100 the one H259? He was seeking H1245 a godly H430 offspring H2233. Be H8104 careful H8104 then about your spirit H7307, and see that none H408 of you deals H898 treacherously H898 against the wife H802 of your youth H5271.
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:16 - “For [fn]I hate H8130 [fn]divorce H7971,” says H559 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, “and [fn]him who covers H3680 his garment H3830 with violence H2555,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635. “So be H8104 careful H8104 about your spirit H7307, that you do not deal H898 treacherously H898.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMal 2:17 -

You have wearied H3021 the LORD H3068 with your words H1697. Yet you say H559, “How H4100 have we wearied H3021 Him?” In that you say H559, “Everyone H3605 who does H6213 evil H7451 is good H2896 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and He delights H2654 in them,” or H176, “Where H346 is the God H430 of justice H4941?”
