Malachi 2:8-10
International Standard Version
8 “But you priests[a] turned aside from the way, and by your teaching you caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. 9 “So I also made you despised, humiliating you before all of the people, because you aren’t following my ways and are showing partiality when you teach.”
A Plea and a Prayer from Malachi
10 Do we not have one father?[b] Has not one God created us? Why does each of us act deceitfully, each man against his own brother, to profane the covenant of our ancestors?
