7For the lipsH8193 of a priestH3548 should preserveH8104 1knowledgeH1847, and 2men should 3seekH1245 4instructionH8451 from his mouthH6310; for he is the 5messengerH4397 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 8But as for you, you have turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870; you have caused manyH7227 to 6stumbleH3782 7by the instructionH8451; you have 89corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 9“So 10I alsoH1571 have madeH5414 you despisedH959 and 11abasedH8217 12before allH3605 the peopleH5971, justH6310H834 as you are not keepingH8104 My waysH1870 but are showingH5375 13partialityH5375H6440 in the 14instructionH8451.
