Malachi 2:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “My agreement for priests was with the tribe of Levi. I promised them life and peace. And I gave these to them so they would honor me. They did honor me and fear me. ⁶ They taught the true teachings. They spoke no lies. With peace and honesty they did what I said they should do. They kept many people from sinning.

⁷ “A priest should teach what he knows. People should learn the teachings from him because he is the messenger of the Lord of heaven’s armies.
