Malachi 2:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ “My covenant with him was one of life and peace,^(A) and I gave these to him; it called for reverence, and he revered me and stood in awe of my name.^{(B) 6} True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me^(C) in peace and integrity and turned many from iniquity.^{(D) 7} For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should desire instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of Armies.^(E)
