Malachi 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 [a](A)True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked (B)with Me in peace and uprightness, and he (C)turned many back from iniquity. 7 For the lips of a priest should preserve (D)knowledge, and [b]men should (E)seek [c]instruction from his mouth; for he is the (F)messenger of the Lord of hosts. 8 But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to (G)stumble [d]by the instruction; you have [e](H)corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of hosts.

Malachi 2:6-8
New International Version
6 True instruction(A) was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked(B) with me in peace(C) and uprightness,(D) and turned many from sin.(E)
7 “For the lips of a priest(F) ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger(G) of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.(H) 8 But you have turned from the way(I) and by your teaching have caused many to stumble;(J) you have violated the covenant(K) with Levi,”(L) says the Lord Almighty.
