Verses 1-4

Malachi 2:1-4. O ye priests, this commandment is for you Or decree, rather, for properly speaking no commandment is here given to the priests, only punishment is denounced upon them if they did not repent. If ye will not hear, &c., to give glory unto my name Which you have despised and dishonoured, by your irreverent performance of my service, Malachi 1:6. I will send a curse upon you I will send poverty and affliction upon you, and you shall not prosper in any thing. And I will curse your blessings I will turn your blessings into curses, or rather, remove your blessings and send curses and calamities in their stead; behold, I will corrupt your seed The seed wherewith you sow your ground: I will cause it to rot so that it shall bring forth little or nothing. And spread dung upon your faces I will make you as contemptible and vile as if some one had covered your faces with filth and dung. And one shall take you away with it You shall be cast out of the temple as so many nuisances, only fit to be removed out of sight. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you By the punishment which will follow upon your neglecting to lay what hath been said to heart, and to give glory unto my name, as you are here enjoined: see Malachi 2:1-2. That my covenant might be with Levi

That the covenant which I made with the tribe of Levi, that they should be mine, and employed in my service, might continue firm to their posterity. Some render the clause, Because my covenant was with Levi, for the breach of which you are accountable.
