Corrupt Priests

1 “And now, O apriests, this commandment is for you. 
2 aIf you will not hear,
And if you will not take it to heart,
To give glory to My name,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“I will send a curse upon you,
And I will curse your blessings.
Yes, I have cursed them balready,
Because you do not take it to heart. 
3 “Behold, I will rebuke your descendants
And spread arefuse on your faces,
The refuse of your solemn feasts;
And one will btake you away with it. 
4 Then you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you,
That My covenant with Levi may continue,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
5 “Mya covenant was with him, one of life and peace,
And I gave them to him bthat he might fear Me;
So he feared Me
And was reverent before My name.

Malachi 2:1

REPROOF OF THE PRIESTS FOR VIOLATING THE COVENANT; AND THE PEOPLE ALSO FOR MIXED MARRIAGES AND UNFAITHFULNESS. (Mal. 2:1-17)

for you—The priests in particular are reproved, as their part was to have led the people aright, and reproved sin, whereas they encouraged and led them into sin. Ministers cannot sin or suffer alone. They drag down others with them if they fall [MOORE].
