Malachi 2:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
2 1 Threatenings against the Priests, being seducers of the people.
1 And now, O ye [a]Priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If ye will not hear it, nor consider it in your heart, to give glory [b]unto my Name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and will curse your [c]blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not consider it in your heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt [d]your seed, and cast dung upon your faces, even the [e]dung of your solemn feasts, and you shall be like unto it.
