Malachi Chapter 2 - King James Strong Number Version

1
And now, O ye priests, <H3548> this commandment <H4687> [is] for you.
2
If ye will not hear, <H8085> and if ye will not lay <H7760> [it] to heart, <H3820> to give <H5414> glory <H3519> unto my name, <H8034> saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> I will even send <H7971> a curse <H3994> upon you, and I will curse <H0779> your blessings: <H1293> yea, I have cursed <H0779> them already, because ye do not lay <H7760> [it] to heart. <H3820>
3
Behold, I will corrupt <H1605> your seed, <H2233> and spread <H2219> dung <H6569> upon your faces, <H6440> [even] the dung <H6569> of your solemn feasts; <H2282> and [one] shall take <H5375> you away with it.
4
And ye shall know <H3045> that I have sent <H7971> this commandment <H4687> unto you, that my covenant <H1285> might be with Levi, <H3878> saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
5
My covenant <H1285> was with him of life <H2416> and peace; <H7965> and I gave <H5414> them to him [for] the fear <H4172> wherewith he feared <H3372> me, and was afraid <H2865> before <H6440> my name. <H8034>
6
The law <H8451> of truth <H0571> was in his mouth, <H6310> and iniquity <H5766> was not found <H4672> in his lips: <H8193> he walked <H1980> with me in peace <H7965> and equity, <H4334> and did turn many <H7227> away <H7725> from iniquity. <H5771>
7
For the priest's <H3548> lips <H8193> should keep <H8104> knowledge, <H1847> and they should seek <H1245> the law <H8451> at his mouth: <H6310> for he [is] the messenger <H4397> of the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
8
But ye are departed <H5493> out of the way; <H1870> ye have caused many <H7227> to stumble <H3782> at the law; <H8451> ye have corrupted <H7843> the covenant <H1285> of Levi, <H3878> saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
9
Therefore have I also made <H5414> you contemptible <H0959> and base <H8217> before all the people, <H5971> according <H6310> as ye have not kept <H8104> my ways, <H1870> but have been <H5375> partial <H6440> in the law. <H8451>
10
Have we not all one <H0259> father? <H0001> hath not one <H0259> God <H0410> created <H1254> us? why do we deal treacherously <H0898> every man <H0376> against his brother, <H0251> by profaning <H2490> the covenant <H1285> of our fathers? <H0001>
11
Judah <H3063> hath dealt treacherously, <H0898> and an abomination <H8441> is committed <H6213> in Israel <H3478> and in Jerusalem; <H3389> for Judah <H3063> hath profaned <H2490> the holiness <H6944> of the LORD <H3068> which he loved, <H0157> and hath married <H1166> the daughter <H1323> of a strange <H5236> god. <H0410>
12
The LORD <H3068> will cut off <H3772> the man <H0376> that doeth <H6213> this, the master <H5782> and the scholar, <H6030> out of the tabernacles <H0168> of Jacob, <H3290> and him that offereth <H5066> an offering <H4503> unto the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
13
And this have ye done <H6213> again, <H8145> covering <H3680> the altar <H4196> of the LORD <H3068> with tears, <H1832> with weeping, <H1065> and with crying out, <H0603> insomuch that he regardeth <H6437> not the offering <H4503> any more, or receiveth <H3947> [it] with good will <H7522> at your hand. <H3027>
14
Yet ye say, <H0559> Wherefore? <H4100> Because the LORD <H3068> hath been witness <H5749> between thee and the wife <H0802> of thy youth, <H5271> against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: <H0898> yet [is] she thy companion, <H2278> and the wife <H0802> of thy covenant. <H1285>
15
And did not he make <H6213> one? <H0259> Yet had he the residue <H7605> of the spirit. <H7307> And wherefore one? <H0259> That he might seek <H1245> a godly <H0430> seed. <H2233> Therefore take heed <H8104> to your spirit, <H7307> and let none deal treacherously <H0898> against the wife <H0802> of his youth. <H5271>
16
For the LORD, <H3068> the God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> saith <H0559> that he hateth <H8130> putting away: <H7971> for [one] covereth <H3680> violence <H2555> with his garment, <H3830> saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts: <H6635> therefore take heed <H8104> to your spirit, <H7307> that ye deal not treacherously. <H0898>
17
Ye have wearied <H3021> the LORD <H3068> with your words. <H1697> Yet ye say, <H0559> Wherein have we wearied <H3021> [him]? When ye say, <H0559> Every one that doeth <H6213> evil <H7451> [is] good <H2896> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> and he delighteth <H2654> in them; or, Where [is] the God <H0430> of judgment? <H4941>
