Malachi 2:1-3
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear and if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to My name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I have already turned them to curses because you do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will rebuke your seed [grain—which will prevent due harvest], and I will spread the [a]dung from the festival offerings upon your faces, and you shall be taken away with it.
