Rules for Priests

2 “Priests, this command is for you. ² Listen to me. Pay attention to what I say. Honor my name,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies. “If you don’t, I will send a curse on you. I will curse your blessings. I have already cursed them because you don’t pay attention to what I say.

³ “I will punish your descendants. I will smear your faces with the garbage from your feasts. And you will be thrown away with it.
