Malachi 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ True Instruction was in his mouth;
        injustice wasn’t found on his lips.
He walked with me in peace and did the right thing;
        he made many turn from iniquity.
⁷ The lips of the priest should guard knowledge;
        everyone^[a] should seek Instruction from his mouth,
            for he is the messenger from the Lord of heavenly forces.
⁸ But you have turned from the path.
        You have caused many to stumble by your instruction.
        You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,
says the Lord of heavenly forces.
