That My covenant with Levi may continue,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
And I gave them to him bthat he might fear Me;
So he feared Me
And was reverent before My name.
And1 injustice was not found on his lips.
He walked with Me in peace and equity,
And bturned many away from iniquity.
And people should seek the law from his mouth;
bFor he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
You ahave caused many to stumble at the law.
bYou have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown bpartiality in the law.”

Malachi 2:6
Was in his mouth - He taught to the people. Aaron, Eleazar, Phineas, every one of those priests or Levites, in what age soever they lived; who feared God, and were humble. Iniquity is not found - He judged not with respect of persons, or for bribes. He walked - His whole life was a continual walking with God; he lived with God, and to him. In peace - With God, and it was his aim to live peaceably with others.
