  • Mal 2:4-9 : 4 Then you will know that I have sent this command to you so that My covenant with Levi may continue, says the Lord of Hosts. 5 My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name. 6 True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin. 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. 8 But you have turned aside from the way, and by your teaching have caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant with Levi, says the Lord of Hosts. 9 So I have also made you despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not kept My ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law.
