Malachi 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 The Law of [a]truth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquity found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the Priest’s [b]lips should preserve knowledge, and they should seek the Law at his mouth: for he is the [c]messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8 But ye are gone out of the way: ye have caused many to fall by the Law: ye have broken the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
