YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And law they do seek from his mouth, For a messenger of Jehovah of Hosts he is . ⁸ And ye, ye have turned from the way, Ye have caused many to stumble in the law, Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, Said Jehovah of Hosts. ⁹ And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because ye are not keeping My ways, And are accepting persons in the law.
