1. “And so then, O priests, this command is for you:
2. If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart to give glory to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; moreover I have already cursed them because you are not taking it to heart.
3. Look! I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will scatter offal on your faces, the offal of your religious feasts, and you will be carried to it.
4. “Then you will know that I have sent to you this command, that my covenant with Levi continues,” says Yahweh of hosts.
