39:002:004 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you,
           that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the lord of hosts.

39:002:005 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to
           him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before
           my name.

39:002:006 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found
           in his lips:  he walked with me in peace and equity, and did
           turn many away from iniquity.

39:002:007 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should
           seek the law at his mouth:  for he is the messenger of the lord
           of hosts.

39:002:008 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to
           stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi,
           saith the lord of hosts.

39:002:009 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before
           all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but
           have been partial in the law.

39:002:010 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why
           do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by
           profaning the covenant of our fathers?

39:002:011 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is
           committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned
           the holiness of the lord which he loved, and hath married the
           daughter of a strange god.

39:002:012 The lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and
           the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that
           offereth an offering unto the lord of hosts.

39:002:013 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the lord
           with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that
           he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with
           good will at your hand.

39:002:014 Yet ye say, Wherefore?  Because the lord hath been witness
           between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast
           dealt treacherously:  yet is she thy companion, and the wife of
           thy covenant.

39:002:015 And did not he make one?  Yet had he the residue of the spirit. 
           And wherefore one?  That he might seek a godly seed.  Therefore
           take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously
           against the wife of his youth.

39:002:016 For the lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting
           away:  for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the
           lord of hosts:  therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye
           deal not treacherously.
