Malachi 2:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me(A) in peace and integrity and turned many from iniquity.(B) 7 For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should desire instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of Armies.(C)
8 “You, on the other hand, have turned from the way.(D) You have caused many to stumble(E) by your instruction. You have violated[a] the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of Armies.
