Malachi 2:7-9
New King James Version
7 “For(A) the lips of a priest should keep knowledge,
And people should seek the law from his mouth;
(B)For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But you have departed from the way;
You (C)have caused many to stumble at the law.
(D)You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
9 “Therefore (E)I also have made you contemptible and base
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown (F)partiality in the law.”
Malachi 2:7-9
King James Version
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
