Malachi 2:7 in Context — Malachi 2
5 Meu pacto foi com ele de vida e de paz, as quais eu lhe dei para haver temor; e ele me temeu, e teve medo diante de meu nome.
6 A lei de verdade estava em sua boca, e não se achou injustiça em seus lábios; ele andava comigo em paz e em justiça, e converteu a muitos da maldade.
7 Porque os lábios do sacerdote devem guardar o conhecimento, e de sua boca devem buscar a lei; porque ele é mensageiro do SENHOR dos exércitos.
8 Mas vós vos desviastes do caminho; fizestes tropeçar a muitos na lei; corrompestes o pacto de Levi,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
9 Por isso eu também vos tornei desprezíveis e indignos diante de todo o povo, visto que não guardais meus caminhos, e na lei fazeis acepção de pessoas.
