| 2 | If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Yahweh of Hosts, then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart. | Lv 26:14-46 Dt 28:15-68 Dt 30:17 Dt 30:18 Ps 81:11 Ps 81:12 Isa 30:8-13 Jer 6:16-20 Jer 13:17 Jer 25:4-9 Jer 34:17 Ezk 3:7 Zc 1:3-6 Zc 7:11-14 |

| 7 | For the priest`s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Hosts. | Lv 10:11 Dt 17:8-11 Dt 21:5 Dt 24:8 2Ch 17:8 2Ch 17:9 2Ch 30:22 Ezr 7:10 Ne 8:2-8 Jer 15:19 Jer 18:18 Hg 2:11-13 2Ti 2:24 2Ti 2:25 |

| 10 | Don`t we all have one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? | Mal 1:6 Jsh 24:3 Isa 51:2 Isa 63:16 Isa 64:8 Ezk 33:24 Mt 3:9 Lk 1:73 Lk 3:8 Jn 8:39 Jn 8:53 Jn 8:56 Ac 7:2 Ro 4:1 Ro 9:10 1Co 8:6 Eph 4:6 Heb 12:9 |
| 11 | Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. | Lv 18:24-30 Jer 7:10 Ezk 18:13 Ezk 22:11 Rev 21:8 |

| 16 | For I hate putting away, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says Yahweh of Hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don`t deal treacherously. | Dt 24:1-4 Isa 50:1 Mt 5:31 Mt 5:32 Mt 19:3-9 Mk 10:2-12 Lk 16:18 |
