Malachi 2:7-9

7For athe lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people
Hebrew they
should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
8But you have turned aside from the way. cYou have caused many to stumble by your instruction. You have corrupted dthe covenant of Levi, says the Lord of hosts, 9and so eI make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you do not keep my ways but fshow partiality in your instruction.”
