Malachi 2:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ “I will ·punish [discipline; rebuke] your descendants. I will smear your faces with ·the animal insides [offal; entrails; or dung] left from your feasts, and you will be thrown away with it. ⁴ Then you will know that I am giving you this ·command [warning] so my ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with Levi will continue,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts]. ⁵ “My ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with ·the Levites [^Lhim; ^CLevi] was to bring life and peace so they would ·honor [fear] me. And they did ·honor [fear] me and ·fear me [^Lstood in awe of my name; Prov. 1:7].
