Malachi 2:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ My covenant with him was one of life and ^(A)peace, and I gave them to him. ^(B)It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. ^6 (C)True instruction^[a] was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he ^(D)turned many from iniquity. ⁷ For ^(E)the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people^[b] should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
