What is the meaning of "wrong"?

Malachi 2:6 (ESV)

6 True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.

The lips of the priests were to be free from wrong. The word wrong here often means injustice, but when associated with the mouth or lips, refers to lies (Job 13:7; Isaiah 59:3).
