Malachi 2:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ I will deprive you of the shoulder
    and spread dung on your faces,
the dung of your offerings,
    and I will banish you from my presence.
⁴ Then you will know
    that I sent you this commandment
because I wish to maintain
    my covenant with Levi,
    says the Lord of hosts.
⁵ My covenant with him
    was one of life and peace,
    which I bestowed on him.
He revered me
    and held my name in awe.
