²⁶ Her ^(A)priests have done violence to My law and have ^(B)profaned My holy things; they have made no ^(C)distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the ^(D)unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

⁷ For the lips of a priest should preserve ^(A)knowledge, and ^[a]men should ^(B)seek ^[b]instruction from his mouth; for he is the ^(C)messenger of the Lord of hosts. ⁸ But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to ^(D)stumble ^[c]by the instruction; you have ^[d](E)corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of hosts.
