why was it poetic justice that God made the corrupt priests contemptible in the eyes of others?
The corrupt priests caused Gods name to be dishonored before others, so it was fitting that others should hold the priests in dishonor. The corrupt priests caused others to stumble, and if they eventually were held in contempt, then others would not pay attention to them and stumble more. Q: In Mal 2:10, how is God our Father here? A: God is our Father in more than one sense. However, Malachi 2:10 mentions God as Creator, so it is likely referring to God as the Creator of all people. While “Father” could refer to Jacob as the ancestor of the Jews, it more likely refers to our Creator. Q: In Mal 2:11, how did some men marry the daughter of a strange god? A: This poetic expression means the men married women who worshipped idols. Q: In Mal 2:14-16, should Jews back then not divorce their wives, or divorce their pagan wives as Ezra 10:11-44 implies? A: Malachi is speaking of Jewish men divorcing their Jewish wives and marrying pagan wives. See An Exegetical Commentary : Haggai, Zechariah,
