1
The burden of
the word of the
L
ORD
to Israel by Malachi.
2
I have loved you, saith the
L
ORD
. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us?
Was
not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the
L
ORD
: yet I loved Jacob,
3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4
Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the
L
ORD
hath indignation for ever.
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The
L
ORD
will be magnified from the border of Israel.
6
A son honoureth
his
father, and a servant his master: if then I
be
a father, where
is
mine honour? and if I
be
a master, where
is
my fear? saith the
L
ORD
of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
7
Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the
L
ORD
is
contemptible.
8
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice,
is it
not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick,
is it
not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the
L
ORD
of hosts.
9
And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the
L
ORD
of hosts.
10
Who
is there
even among you that would shut the doors
for nought?
neither do ye kindle
fire
on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name
shall be
great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense
shall be
offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name
shall be
great among the heathen, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts.
12
But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the
L
ORD
is
polluted; and the fruit thereof,
even
his meat,
is
contemptible.
13
Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness
is it!
and ye have snuffed at it, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; and ye brought
that which was
torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the
L
ORD
.
14
But cursed
be
the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I
am
a great King, saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, and my name
is
dreadful among the heathen.
