You are my God. Remember what those priests have done. They have brought shame to their own work. They have also brought shame to the covenant that God made with the priests and Levites long ago.

You are my God. Remember what Tobiah and Sanballat have done. Also remember the prophet Noadiah. She and the rest of the prophets have been trying to scare me.

“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He announced,‘ I promised that members of your family line would serve me as priests forever.’ But now the Lord announces,‘ I will not let that happen! I will honor those who honor me. But I will turn away from those who look down on me.

So tell Phinehas I am making my covenant with him. It is my promise to give him peace.He and his sons after him will have a covenant to be priests forever. That is because he was committed to making sure that I, his God, was honored. In that way he paid for the sin of the Israelites.”

Remember Alexander, the one who works with metal. He did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he has done.

The Lord said to Moses,“ Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron. Tell them,‘ A priest must not make himself“ unclean” by going near the dead body of any of his people.But he can go near the body of a close relative. It could be his mother, father, son, daughter or brother.He can also go near a sister who is not married. She would have depended on him because she did not have a husband. The priest can make himself“ unclean” by going near her body.But he must not make himself“ unclean” by going near the bodies of people only related to him by marriage. Going near them would make him“ unclean.”“‘ Priests must not shave any part of their heads. They must not shave off the edges of their beards. They must not make cuts on their bodies when someone dies.Priests must be holy. They must be set apart for me. I am their God. They must not treat my name as if it were not holy. They must be holy because they bring food offerings to me. That is my food.“‘ They must not get married to women who are“ unclean” because they are prostitutes. They must not marry women who are divorced from their husbands. That is because priests are holy. They are set apart for me. I am their God.

People of Judah, all of us have one Father. One God created us. So why do we break the covenant the Lord made with our people of long ago? We do this by being unfaithful to one another.And Judah has been unfaithful. A hateful thing has been done in Israel and Jerusalem. The Lord loves his temple. But Judah has made it impure. Their men have married women who worship other gods.May the Lord punish the man who marries a woman like this. It doesn’t matter who that man is. May the Lord who rules over all remove him from the tents of Jacob’s people. May the Lord remove him even if he brings an offering to him.

Lord God who rules over all, rise up. God of Israel, punish all the nations. Don’t show any mercy to those sinful people who have turned against me.My enemies are like a pack of barking dogs that come back to the city in the evening. They prowl around the city.Listen to what pours out of their mouths. The words from their lips are like swords. They think,“ Who can hear us?”But you laugh at them, Lord. You make fun of all those nations.You give me strength. I look to you. God, you are like a fort to me.You are my God, and I can depend on you. God will march out in front of me. He will let me look down on those who tell lies about me.Lord, you are like a shield that keeps us safe. Don’t kill my enemies all at once. If you do, my people will forget about it. Use your power to pull my enemies up by the roots like weeds. Destroy them.They have sinned with their mouths. Their lips have spoken evil words. They have cursed me and lied. Let them be caught in their pride.Burn them up in your anger. Burn them up until there isn’t anything left of them. Then everyone from one end of the earth to the other will know that God rules over the people of Jacob.

You will know that I have given you this warning. I have warned you so that my covenant with Levi will continue,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ My covenant promised Levi life and peace. So I gave them to him. I required him to respect me. And he had great respect for my name.True teaching came from his mouth. Nothing but the truth came from his lips. He walked with me in peace. He did what was right. He turned many people away from their sins.“ The lips of a priest should guard knowledge. After all, he is the messenger of the Lord who rules over all. And people seek instruction from his mouth.But you have turned away from the right path. Your teaching has caused many people to trip and fall. You have broken my covenant with Levi,” says the Lord who rules over all.

The God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the community of Israel. He has brought you near him to work at the Lord’ s holy tent. He has given you to the people so that you can serve them. Isn’t all that enough for you?He has already brought you and all the other Levites near him. But now you want to be priests too.
