7 For ^mthe lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people¹ should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

1 ^g“Behold, I send ^hmy messenger, and ⁱhe will prepare the way before me. And the Lord ^jwhom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and ^kthe messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.
