Malachi 2:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Then you will know why I am giving you this command. It is so that my agreement with Levi will continue,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ⁵ “My agreement for priests was with the tribe of Levi. I promised them life and peace. And I gave these to them so they would honor me. They did honor me and fear me. ⁶ They taught the true teachings. They spoke no lies. With peace and honesty they did what I said they should do. They kept many people from sinning.
