Malachi 2:7-8

New King James Version

⁷ “For^(A) the lips of a priest should keep knowledge,
And people should seek the law from his mouth;
^(B)For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
⁸ But you have departed from the way;
You ^(C)have caused many to stumble at the law.
^(D)You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
