Malachi 2:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Then you will know
    that I sent you this commandment
because I wish to maintain
    my covenant with Levi,
    says the Lord of hosts.
⁵ My covenant with him
    was one of life and peace,
    which I bestowed on him.
He revered me
    and held my name in awe.
⁶ The instruction he offered was true,
    and no dishonesty issued from his mouth.
He walked with me in integrity and uprightness,
    and he turned many away from a sinful life.
