Malachi 2:6-8
612TrueH571 instructionH8451 was in his mouthH6310 and unrighteousnessH5767 was not foundH4672 on his lipsH8193; he walkedH1980 3with Me in peaceH7965 and uprightnessH4334, and he 4turnedH7725 manyH7227 backH7725 from iniquityH5771.
7For the lipsH8193 of a priestH3548 should preserveH8104 5knowledgeH1847, and 6men should 7seekH1245 8instructionH8451 from his mouthH6310; for he is the 9messengerH4397 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
8But as for you, you have turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870; you have caused manyH7227 to 10stumbleH3782 11by the instructionH8451; you have 1213corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
