Malachi 2:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ For a priest’s lips should preserve knowledge, and people should seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts. ⁸ But you have departed from the way. You have caused many to stumble at the law. You have violated the covenant of Levi, says the Lord of Hosts. ⁹ So I have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in the law.
