Malachi warns the priests that continued dishonor will bring curse. He recalls Levi’s covenant as one of reverence, truth, knowledge, and faithful instruction, then contrasts it with priests who cause many to stumble. The chapter turns to Judah’s treachery in marriage: men deal faithlessly with covenant wives, and the LORD condemns the violence and betrayal associated with wrongful divorce.
