Mal. 2. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. My covenant was with (Levi) of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me,— The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: He walked with me in Peace and Equity; and did turn many from iniquity: For the Priests lips should keep knowledge and they should seek the Law at his mouth: for he is the Messenger of the Lord of hosts. But ye are departed out of the way: ye have caused many to stumble at the Law: ye have corrupted the Covenant of Levi;—Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the Law.
