5. I blessed him with a full life, as I had promised, and he kept his part of the agreement by honouring me and respecting my name.
6. He taught the truth and never told lies, and he led a lot of people to turn from sin, because he obeyed me and lived right.
7. You priests should be eager to spread knowledge, and everyone should come to you for instruction, because you speak for me, the Lord All-Powerful.
8. But you have turned your backs on me. Your teachings have led others to do sinful things, and you have broken the agreement I made with your ancestor Levi.
9. So I caused everyone to hate and despise you, because you disobeyed me and failed to treat all people alike.
