Malachi 2:4-6

4The Lord Almighty says, ‘When I punish you like that, you will know that I have warned you. Then the covenant that I made with Levi and his descendants, the priests, can continue.

5I promised to give them a good life with many blessings. Levi received what I promised to him. He served me and he respected me, as a priest should do.

6He taught my true message. He did not teach people anything that was bad. He lived in a good and honest way as he served me. He helped many people to stop doing wrong things.
