Malachi 2:6-8

Holman 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 fairness and turned many from sin.^{(B) 7} For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts.^(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 Hosts.
