2Kings 17 - Listen

3

Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria;and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

4

And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea:for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. *

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,   Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

27

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carrythither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

28

Then one of the priests whom they had carried awayfrom Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taughtthem how they should fear the LORD.

34

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes,   or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named * Israel;

37

And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other   gods.

Malachi 2 - Listen

6

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. *

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

2Kings 17 - Listen

1

In the twelfth * year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

4

And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea:for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. *

5

Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it threeyears.

6

In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria tookSamaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. *

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,   Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

16

And they left all the commandments of the LORDtheir God, and made them molten images, even twocalves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host   of heaven, and served Baal.

19

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israelwhich they made.

24

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon,and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath,and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

26

Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying,The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they knownot the manner of the God of the land.

27

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carrythither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

28

Then one of the priests whom they had carried awayfrom Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taughtthem how they should fear the LORD.

32

So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places,which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

34

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named * Israel;

37

And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fearother gods.

Malachi 2 - Listen

1

And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 

6

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. *

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

15

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.

16

For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hatethputting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

2Kings 17 - Listen

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,   Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

15

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed * vanity,and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

18

Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

22

For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

23

Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel   carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

27

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carrythither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

28

Then one of the priests whom they had carried awayfrom Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taughtthem how they should fear the LORD.

34

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes,   or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named * Israel;

35

With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrificeto them:

37

And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other   gods.

38

And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

Malachi 2 - Listen

4

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

5

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.

6

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. *

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

Have we not all one father? hath not one God createdus? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 

14

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.

2Kings 17 - Listen

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,   Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

14

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardenedtheir necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

15

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonieswhich he testified against them; and they followed *vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathenthat were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

35

With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrificeto them:

38

And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

41

So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's   children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

Malachi 2 - Listen

4

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

5

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.

8

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.

10

Have we not all one father? hath not one Godcreated us? why do we deal treacherously every managainst his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

12

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.

14

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.

In the twelfth * year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

2

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were beforehim.

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers,saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

17

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

18

Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

19

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israelwhich they made.

Malachi 2 - Listen

11

Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judahhath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strangegod.

13

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.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were beforehim.

11

And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried awaybefore them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

12

For they served idols, whereof the LORD had saidunto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

13

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,   Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

15

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed * vanity,and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass   through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

26

Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying,The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they knownot the manner of the God of the land.

27

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carrythither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

33

They feared the LORD, and served their own gods,after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

34

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the lawand commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named * Israel;

And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear   other gods.

40

Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

Malachi 2 - Listen

17

Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say,Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
