Malachi 2:3 in Context — Malachi 2

1 Maintenant, à vous cet ordre, sacrificateurs!

2 Si vous n’écoutez pas, si vous ne prenez pas à cœur De donner gloire à mon nom, dit l’Éternel des armées, J’enverrai parmi vous la malédiction, et je maudirai vos bénédictions; Oui, je les maudirai, parce que vous ne l’avez pas à cœur.

3 Voici, je détruirai vos semences, Et je vous jetterai des excréments au visage, Les excréments des victimes que vous sacrifiez, Et on vous emportera avec eux.

4 Vous saurez alors que je vous ai adressé cet ordre, Afin que mon alliance avec Lévi subsiste, Dit l’Éternel des armées.

5 Mon alliance avec lui était une alliance de vie et de paix, Ce que je lui accordai pour qu’il me craignît; Et il a eu pour moi de la crainte, Il a tremblé devant mon nom.
