Malachi 1
The
burden
of
the
a
word
of
the
Lord
to
Israel
by
Malachi.
2 I
have
a
loved
you,
saith
the
Lord.
Yet
ye
say,
Wherein
hast
thou
loved
us?
Was
not
Esau
Jacob's
brother?
saith
the
Lord:
yet
I
b
loved
Jacob,
3 And
I
hated
Esau,
and
laid
his
mountains
and
his
a
heritage
b
waste
for
the
c
dragons
of
the
wilderness.
4 Whereas
Edom
saith,
We
are
impoverished,
but
we
will
return
and
build
the
desolate
places;
thus
saith
the
Lord
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
Lord
hath
indignation
for
ever.
5 And
your
eyes
shall
see,
and
ye
shall
say,
The
Lord
will
be
magnified
from
the
border
of
Israel.
6 A
son
a
honoureth
his
father,
and
a
servant
his
master:
if
then
I
be
a
father,
where
is
mine
b
honour?
and
if
I
be
a
master,
where
is
my
fear?
saith
the
Lord
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
Lord
is
contemptible.
8 And
if
ye
offer
the
a
blind
for
b
sacrifice,
is
it
not
evil?
and
if
ye
offer
c
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
Lord
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
Lord
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
Lord
of
hosts,
neither
will
I
a
accept
an
offering
at
your
hand.
11 For
from
the
a
rising
of
the
sun
even
unto
the
going
down
of
the
same
my
b
name
shall
be
great
among
the
c
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
Lord
of
hosts.
12 But
ye
have
profaned
it,
in
that
ye
say,
The
a
table
of
the
Lord
is
polluted;
and
the
fruit
thereof,
even
his
meat,
is
contemptible.
13 Ye
said
also,
Behold,
what
a
weariness
is
it!
and
ye
have
a
snuffed
at
it,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts;
and
ye
brought
that
which
was
torn,
and
the
b
lame,
and
the
sick;
thus
ye
brought
an
offering:
should
I
c
accept
this
of
your
hand?
saith
the
Lord.
14 But
a
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
Lord
of
hosts,
and
my
name
is
b
dreadful
among
the
heathen.
