Malachi 2:4-9 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant might be with the sons of Levi, says the Lord Almighty.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant might be with the sons of Levi, says the Lord Almighty. ⁵ My covenant of life and peace was with him, and I gave it to him that he might reverently fear Me, and that he might be awe struck at My name. ⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked before Me directing his way in peace, and he turned many from unrighteousness. ⁷ For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty. ⁸ But you have turned aside from the way, and caused many to fail in following the law: you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the Lord Almighty. ⁹ And I have made you despised and cast out among all the people, because you have not kept My ways, but have been partial in the law.
