⁴ Then you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you,
That My covenant with Levi may continue,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

¹¹ Judah has dealt treacherously,
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has ^(A)profaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.

¹² May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being ^[a]awake and aware,
Yet ^(A)who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
