Malachi 2:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For the lips of the priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.

⁸ But you have departed out of the way, and have caused many to stumble at the law: you have made void the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

⁹ Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the law.
