Malachi 2:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And ye shall know, that I have [a]sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant, which I made with Levi, might stand, saith the Lord of hosts.
5 My [b]covenant was with him of life and peace, and I [c]gave him fear, and he feared me, and was afraid before [d]my Name.
6 The Law of [e]truth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquity found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
