2 Now for you priests, here is my charge. 2 If you will not listen and lay to heart my order to honour my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send my curse upon you and curse your blessings—ay and I have already cursed them, for you are not laying my order to heart. 3 I will disable your arms and spread dung over your faces and banish you from my presence; 4 then shall you learn that I sent you this charge. For my compact was made with the priest of Levi, says the Lord of hosts; 5 my compact was with him, life and peace I gave him, ay and reverence--he did revere me, he did stand in awe of me. 6 True instruction came from his mouth and no wrong issued from his lips; in peace and honesty he lived close to me, and he turned many away from evil. 7 For the lips of a priest ought to treasure wisdom, and men should seek direction from his words, since he is the spokesman of the Lord of hosts. 8 But you have swerved aside, you have done harm to many by your directions, you have violated the Levi-compact, says the Lord of hosts, 9 and so I have made all the people despise and degrade you, because you would not keep to my way nor heed me in your instructions.
10 Have we not all one Father? Has not one God made us? Then why do we break faith with one another, every man with his fellow, by dishonouring our time-honoured troth? 11 [[Judah has broken faith, and an abominable crime has been committed in Jerusalem, for Judah has desecrated the sanctuary that the Eternal loves--Judah has married women belonging to a foreign god! 12 The man who does this, may the Eternal strip him of his kith and kin, expelling him from the tents of Judah, leaving him none alive to sacrifice for him to the Lord of hosts! 13 And this again you do]] You drench the Eternal’s altar with your tears, sobbing and groaning because he never heeds your offerings, because he will accept no gift from you. 14 You ask, Why? It is because the Eternal was a witness at your marriage in youth to the wife with whom you have now broken faith--though she is your own mate and lawful wife. 15 Not one of you has any trace of moral sense. Not one desires to have children from God. Take heed to yourselves, and let none prove unfaithful to the wife of his youth, 16 for I detest divorce and cruelty to a wife, the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, declares. Take heed then to yourselves, never be faithless.
17 You have wearied the Eternal with your talk. ‘How have we wearied him?’ you ask. By saying, ‘An evildoer is approved by the Eternal.’ Or, ‘Where is the God of Justice?’
