1. And now, O priests, this commandment is for you.
2. If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart to give honor to My name, says the Lord of Hosts, I will send a curse on you and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.
3. I rebuke your descendants, and spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your solemn feasts, and you will be taken away with it.
4. And you will know that I have sent this command to you, that My covenant with Levi may remain, says the Lord of Hosts.
