1 The burden of the word of the LORD [Yahweh] to Israel by Malachi. 2 I have loved you, says the LORD [Yahweh]. Yet you say, Wherein have you loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD [Yahweh]: 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 says, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, They will build, but I will throw down; and they will call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD [Yahweh] has indignation for ever. 5 And your eyes will see, and you will say, The LORD [Yahweh] will be magnified from the border of Israel. 6 A son honors [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I [be] a father, where [is] my honor? and if I [be] a master, where [is] my fear? says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts to you, O priests, that despise my name. And you say, Wherein have we despised your name? 7 You offer polluted bread upon my altar; and you say, Wherein have we polluted you? In that you say, The table of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] contemptible. 8 And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? and if you offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to your governor; will he be pleased with you, or accept your person? says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts. 9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious to us: this has been by your means: will he regard your persons? says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts. 10 Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for nought]? neither do you kindle [fire] on my altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same my name [will be] great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense [will be] offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name [will be] great among the heathen, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts. 12 But you have profaned it, in that you say, The table of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] polluted; and the fruit of it, [even] his meat, [is] contemptible. 13 You said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]! and you have snuffed at it, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts; and you brought [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus you brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? says the LORD [Yahweh]. 14 But cursed [be] the deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a corrupt thing: for I [am] a great King, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, and my name [is] dreadful among the heathen.
