Malachi 2:5-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. My covenant with him was the life and peace which I gave him,and the fear he had for me,standing in awe of my name.

6. Reliable instruction was in his mouth,no perversity was found upon his lips;He walked with me in integrity and uprightness,and turned many away from evil.

7. For a priest’s lips preserve knowledge,and instruction is to be sought from his mouth,because he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.
