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.
