4 Then you will know that I sent you this decree so My covenant with Levi may continue,” says the LORD of Hosts. “ 5 My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave these to him; it called for reverence, and he revered Me and stood in awe of My name. 6 TRUE instruction was in his mouth, and nothing wrong was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and fairness and turned many from sin. 7 For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts.” Malachi 2:4-7, Holman Christian Standard Bible.
