malaquias-2:2-3-nvipt

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Malachi 2:1-9

What was said in the foregoing chapter was directed to the priests (Mal. 1:6): Thus saith the Lord of hosts to you, O priests! that despise my name. But the crimes there charged upon them they were guilty of as sacrificers, and for those they might think it some excuse that they offered what the people brought, and therefore that, if they were not so good as they should be, it was not their fault, but the people?s; and therefore here the corruptions there complained of are traced to the source... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Malachi 2:2

If ye will not hear ,.... The commandment enjoined them; or the Gospel preached to them by Christ, and his apostles: and if ye will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts ; which they had despised and profaned before; if they did not take care of his worship and service, and honour the Messiah sent unto them, in whom the name of the Lord was: I will even send a curse upon you ; both upon priests and people; those that bring the bad offerings, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 2:2

If ye will not hear - What I have spoken, lay it to heart, and let it sink down into your souls. Give glory unto my name - That honor that is due to me as a Father, and that fear that belongs to me as a Master, Malachi 1:6 . I will even send a curse upon you - I will dispense no more good. I will curse your blessings - Even that which ye have already shall not profit you. When temporal blessings are not the means of leading us to God and heaven, they will infallibly lead us to... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 2:3

Behold, I will corrupt your seed - So as to render it unfruitful. Newcome translates, - "I will take away from you the shoulder." This was the part that belonged to the priest, Leviticus 7:32 ; Deuteronomy 18:3 . Spread dung upon your faces - Instead of receiving a sacrifice at your hands, I will throw your offerings back into your faces. Here God shows his contempt for them and their offerings. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 2:2

Verse 2 He then adds, If ye will not hear nor lay it to heart to give glory to my name, etc. He seems here to threaten the priests alone; and yet if any one carefully considers the whole passage, he will easily perceive that this address extends to the whole people, in such a way however that it is in the first place directed to the priests; for as I have said the greater portion of the guilt belonged to them. God then denounces a heavy punishment on the whole people as well as on the priests,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 2:3

Verse 3 He confirms here again what he had said in the last verse, — that they would perceive God’s curse in want and poverty. The curse of God is any kind of calamity; for as God declares especially his favor by a liberal support, so the sterility of the land and defective produce most clearly evidence the curse of God. The Prophet then shows, by mentioning one thing, what sort of curse was nigh the Jews, — that God would destroy their seed. Some read, but improperly, “I will destroy you and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 2:1-3

Spiritual reformation. "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you," etc. The grand subject we gather from these words is spiritual reformation. "Now, O ye priests." The priests are specially addressed and reproved, for they, whose mission it was to raise the people to true worship and to holiness, led them into sin. Notice— I. THE NATURE OF THE SPIRITUAL REFORMATION REQUIRED . "If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my Name,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 2:2

I will even send a curse; Revised Version, then will I send the curse. St. Jerome, regarding the temporal effect of the curse, translates, egestatem "scarcity" (comp. Deuteronomy 27:15-26 ; Deuteronomy 28:15 , etc.). I will curse your blessings . The blessings which as priests they had to pronounce upon the people (Le 9:22, 23; Numbers 6:23-27 ). These God would not ratify, but would turn them into curses, and thus punish the people who connived at and imitated the iniquities of... read more
