Malachi 2:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ “A priest should teach what he knows. People should learn the teachings from him because he is the messenger of the Lord of heaven’s armies. ⁸ But you priests have stopped obeying me. With your teachings you have caused many people to do wrong. You have broken the agreement with the tribe of Levi!” says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ⁹ “You have not been careful to do what I say. You take sides in court cases. So I have caused you to be hated and disgraced in front of everybody.”
