The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
MAL 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to
him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
MAL 2:6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found
in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many
away from iniquity.
MAL 2:7 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 of hosts.
MAL 2:8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to
stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the
LORD of hosts.
