That My covenant with Levi may continue,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
And I gave them to him bthat he might fear Me;
So he feared Me
And was reverent before My name.
And1 injustice was not found on his lips.
He walked with Me in peace and equity,
And bturned many away from iniquity.
And people should seek the law from his mouth;
bFor he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
You ahave caused many to stumble at the law.
bYou have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown bpartiality in the law.”
Treachery of Infidelity
bHas not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has aprofaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.
