Malachi 2:5 in Context — Malachi 2

3 Voici, je détruirai vos semences, Et je vous jetterai des excréments au visage, Les excréments des victimes que vous sacrifiez, Et on vous emportera avec eux.

4 Vous saurez alors que je vous ai adressé cet ordre, Afin que mon alliance avec Lévi subsiste, Dit l’Éternel des armées.

5 Mon alliance avec lui était une alliance de vie et de paix, Ce que je lui accordai pour qu’il me craignît; Et il a eu pour moi de la crainte, Il a tremblé devant mon nom.

6 La loi de la vérité était dans sa bouche, Et l’iniquité ne s’est point trouvée sur ses lèvres; Il a marché avec moi dans la paix et dans la droiture, Et il a détourné du mal beaucoup d’hommes.

7 Car les lèvres du sacrificateur doivent garder la science, Et c’est à sa bouche qu’on demande la loi, Parce qu’il est un envoyé de l’Éternel des armées.
