Malachi 2:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ “The purpose of these laws was to give him life and peace, to be a means of showing his respect and awe for me by keeping them. ⁶ He passed on to the people all the truth he got from me. He did not lie or cheat; he walked with me, living a good and righteous life, and turned many from their lives of sin.

⁷ “Priests’ lips should flow with the knowledge of God so the people will learn God’s laws. The priests are the messengers of the Lord Almighty, and men should come to them for guidance.
