Malachi 2:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 The instruction of truth[a] was in his mouth, and wickedness was not found on his lips. In peace and in uprightness[b] he walked with me, and he brought back many from sin.[c] 7 For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek instruction[d] from his mouth, for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts. 8 But you, you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction;[e] you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.
