00:00.850 --> 00:01.650
Chapter 2.

00:02.770 --> 00:06.330
And now, O ye priests, this commandment is
for you.

00:07.430 --> 00:11.630
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not
lay it to heart, to give glory unto my

00:11.630 --> 00:15.950
name, saith the Lord of hosts,
I will even send a curse upon you,

00:16.170 --> 00:17.250
and I will curse your blessings.

00:18.090 --> 00:20.990
Yea, I have cursed them already,
because ye do not lay it to heart.

00:21.910 --> 00:25.970
Behold, I will corrupt your seed,
and spread dung upon your faces,

00:26.170 --> 00:29.370
even the dung of your solemn feasts,
and one shall take you away with it.

00:30.070 --> 00:33.490
And ye shall know that I have sent this
commandment unto you, that my covenant

00:33.490 --> 00:35.850
might be with Levi, saith the Lord of
hosts.

00:36.690 --> 00:41.130
My covenant was with him of life and
peace, and I gave them to him for the fear

00:41.130 --> 00:43.890
wherewith he feared me, and was afraid
before my name.

00:44.930 --> 00:48.630
The law of truth was in his mouth,
and iniquity was not found in his lips.

00:49.370 --> 00:53.350
He walked with me in peace and equity,
and did turn many away from iniquity.

00:53.970 --> 00:58.150
For the priest's lips should keep
knowledge, and they should seek the law at

00:58.150 --> 01:00.870
his mouth, for he is the messenger of the
Lord of hosts.

01:01.570 --> 01:03.210
But ye are departed out of the way.

01:03.990 --> 01:05.890
Ye have caused many to stumble at the law.

01:06.690 --> 01:09.910
Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi,
saith the Lord of hosts.

01:11.010 --> 01:14.270
Therefore have I also made you
contemptible, and base before all the

01:14.270 --> 01:18.830
people, according as ye have not kept my
ways, but have been partial in the law.

01:18.830 --> 01:21.810
Have we not all one Father?

01:22.810 --> 01:24.510
Hath not one God created us?

01:25.330 --> 01:29.270
Why do we deal treacherously every man
against his brother, by profaning the

01:29.270 --> 01:30.230
covenant of our fathers?

01:31.510 --> 01:35.230
Judah hath dealt treacherously,
and an abomination is committed in Israel

01:35.230 --> 01:36.010
and in Jerusalem.

01:36.850 --> 01:41.070
For Judah hath profaned the holiness of
the Lord, which he loved, and hath married

01:41.070 --> 01:42.310
the daughter of a strange God.

01:43.210 --> 01:47.190
The Lord will cut off the man that doeth
this, the master and the scholar,

01:47.390 --> 01:50.870
out of the tabernacles of Jacob,
and him that offereth an offering unto the

01:50.870 --> 01:51.530
Lord of hosts.

01:52.510 --> 01:56.410
And this have ye done again, covering the
altar of the Lord with tears, with

01:56.410 --> 02:00.090
weeping, and with crying out, insomuch
that he regardeth not the offering any

02:00.090 --> 02:02.590
more, or receiveth it with goodwill at
your hand.

02:03.950 --> 02:05.890
Yet ye say, Wherefore?

02:06.950 --> 02:10.190
Because the Lord hath been witness between
thee and the wife of thy youth,

02:10.650 --> 02:12.330
against whom thou hast dealt
treacherously.

02:13.050 --> 02:15.650
Yet is she thy companion, and the wife of
thy covenant.

02:16.790 --> 02:17.970
And did not he make one?

02:18.970 --> 02:20.550
Yet had he the residue of the Spirit.

02:21.490 --> 02:25.030
And wherefore, one, that he might seek a
godly seed?

02:26.010 --> 02:29.650
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
and let none deal treacherously against

02:29.650 --> 02:30.790
the wife of his youth.

02:31.930 --> 02:34.810
For the Lord, the God of Israel,
saith that he hateth putting away.

02:35.630 --> 02:39.030
For one covereth violence with his
garment, saith the Lord of hosts.

02:39.930 --> 02:43.630
Therefore take heed to your spirit,
that ye deal not treacherously.

02:45.010 --> 02:47.030
Ye have wearied the Lord with your words.

02:47.430 --> 02:50.010
Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him?

02:50.770 --> 02:54.750
When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is
good in the sight of the Lord,

02:54.830 --> 02:55.990
and he delighteth in them.

02:56.510 --> 02:58.190
Or, Where is the God of judgment?
