Malachi 2:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 My covenant [on My part with Levi] was to give him life and peace, because [on his part] of the [reverent and worshipful] fear with which [the priests] would revere Me and stand in awe of My name.
6 The law of truth was in [Levi’s] mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest’s lips should guard and keep pure the knowledge [of My law], and the people should seek (inquire for and require) instruction at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

He walked(E) with me in peace(F) and uprightness,(G) and turned many from sin.(H)
7 “For the lips of a priest(I) ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger(J) of the Lord Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.(K)
