Malachi2:4
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that may covenant might be with Levi , saith the LORD of hosts .
O Priests!
By sence and feeling, by woful experience, or know ye i. e. but what I speak now, and will do among you.
Admonition, reproof, and exhortation, to look more carefully for future, that you do not dishonour me, and make mine Altar and Sacrifices contemptible; but repent of what is past, and for time to come amend all, this I call for at your hands.
That you do not null the Covenant of Priesthood made with Levi, and which I would have continued in his posterity, in you, and yours after you, which I would not have your sins and high provocations should abrogate; but if you will not thus confirm, settle, and keep Levi's Covenant among you, I will make it firm as to what is on my part to be done herein, to punish the violators of it.
God Almighty, Lord of hosts hath spoken this, and will do it.
