Malachi 2:7-9 For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek the law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts. ⁸ But you have turned out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of hosts. ⁹ So I have also made you despised and low to all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but are lifting up faces in the law.
