Malachi 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Behold, I will corrupt [a]your seed, and cast dung upon your faces, even the [b]dung of your solemn feasts, and you shall be like unto it.
4 And ye shall know, that I have [c]sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant, which I made with Levi, might stand, saith the Lord of hosts.
5 My [d]covenant was with him of life and peace, and I [e]gave him fear, and he feared me, and was afraid before [f]my Name.
