Rh :Saith the of hosts
 * Unto you, O priests, that despise My name.
 * And ye say: 'Wherein have we despised Thy name?'
 * Ye offer polluted bread upon Mine altar.
 * And ye say: 'Wherein have we polluted Thee?'
 * In that ye say: 'The table of the is contemptible.'
 * And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil!
 * And when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil!
 * Present it now unto thy governor;
 * Will he be pleased with thee?
 * Or will he accept thy person?
 * Saith the of hosts.
 * And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God
 * That He may be gracious unto us!—
 * This hath been of your doing.—
 * Will He accept any of your persons?
 * Saith the of hosts.
 * Oh that there were even one among you that would shut the doors,
 * That ye might not kindle fire on Mine altar in vain!
 * I have no pleasure in you,
 * Saith the of hosts,
 * Neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
 * For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same
 * My name is great among the nations;
 * And in every place offerings are presented unto My name,
 * Even pure oblations;
 * For My name is great among the nations,
 * Saith the of hosts.
 * But ye profane it,
 * In that ye say:
 * 'The table of the Lord is polluted,
 * And the fruit thereof, even the food thereof, is contemptible.'
 * Ye say also:
 * 'Behold, what a weariness is it!'
 * And ye have snuffed at it,
 * Saith the of hosts;
 * And ye have brought that which was taken by violence,
 * And the lame, and the sick;
 * Thus ye bring the offering;
 * Should I accept this of your hand?
 * Saith the.
 * But cursed be he that dealeth craftily,
 * Whereas he hath in his flock a male,
 * And voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing;
 * For I am a great King,
 * Saith the of hosts,
 * And My name is feared among the nations.


 * And now, this commandment
 * Is for you, O ye priests.
 * If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart,
 * To give glory unto My name,
 * Saith the of hosts,
 * Then will I send the curse upon you,
 * And I will curse your blessings;
 * Yea, I curse them,
 * Because ye do not lay it to heart.
 * Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt,
 * And will spread dung upon your faces,
 * Even the dung of your sacrifices;
 * And ye shall be taken away unto it.
 * Know then that I have sent
 * This commandment unto you,
 * That My covenant might be with Levi,
 * Saith the of hosts.
 * My covenant was with him
 * Of life and peace, and I gave them to him,
 * And of fear, and he feared Me,
 * And was afraid of My name.
