1I, the LORD All-Powerful, have something else to say to you priests.
2You had better take seriously the need to honour my name. Otherwise, when you give a blessing, I will turn it into a curse. In fact, I have already done this, because you haven't taken to heart your duties as priests.
3I will punish your descendants and rub your faces in the manure from your animal sacrifices, and then be done with you.
4I am telling you this, so I can continue to keep my agreement with your ancestor Levi.
12I pray that the LORD will no longer let those who are guilty belong to his people, even if they eagerly decide to offer the LORD a gift.
13And what else are you doing? You cry noisily and flood the LORD's altar with your tears, because he isn't pleased with your offerings and refuses to accept them.
14And why isn't God pleased? It's because he knows that each of you men has been unfaithful to the wife you married when you were young. You promised that she would be your partner, but now you have broken that promise.
15Didn't God create you to become like one person with your wife? And why did he do this? It was so you would have children, and then lead them to become God's people. Don't ever be unfaithful to your wife.
16The LORD God All-Powerful of Israel hates anyone who is cruel enough to divorce his wife. So take care never to be unfaithful!
17You have worn out the LORD with your words. And yet, you ask, “How did we do that?”
You did it by saying, “The LORD is pleased with evil and doesn't care about justice.”
