1 # The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to Israel <03478> by <03027> Malachi <04401>.
2 I have loved <0157> (8804) you, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. Yet ye say <0559> (8804) , Wherein hast thou loved <0157> (8804) us? Was not Esau <06215> Jacob's <03290> brother <0251>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>: yet I loved <0157> (8799) Jacob <03290>,
3 And I hated <08130> (8804) Esau <06215>, and laid <07760> (8799) his mountains <02022> and his heritage <05159> waste <08077> for the dragons <08568> of the wilderness <04057>.
4 Whereas Edom <0123> saith <0559> (8799), We are impoverished <07567> (8795), but we will return <07725> (8799) and build <01129> (8799) the desolate places <02723>; thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, They shall build <01129> (8799), but I will throw down <02040> (8799); and they shall call <07121> (8804) them, The border <01366> of wickedness <07564>, and, The people <05971> against whom the LORD <03068> hath indignation <02194> (8804) for <05704> ever <05769>.
5 And your eyes <05869> shall see <07200> (8799), and ye shall say <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> will be magnified <01431> (8799) from the border <01366> of Israel <03478>.
6 # A son <01121> honoureth <03513> (8762) his father <01>, and a servant <05650> his master <0113> : if then I be a father <01>, where is mine honour <03519>? and if I be a master <0113>, where is my fear <04172> ? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> unto you, O priests <03548>, that despise <0959> (8802) my name <08034>. And ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein have we despised <0959> (8804) thy name <08034>?
7 Ye offer <05066> (8688) polluted <01351> (8794) bread <03899> upon mine altar <04196>; and ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein have we polluted <01351> (8765) thee? In that ye say <0559> (8800), The table <07979> of the LORD <03068> is contemptible <0959> (8737).
8 And if ye offer <05066> (8686) the blind <05787> for sacrifice <02076> (8800), is it not evil <07451> ? and if ye offer <05066> (8686) the lame <06455> and sick <02470> (8802), is it not evil <07451>? offer <07126> (8685) it now unto thy governor <06346>; will he be pleased <07521> (8799) with thee, or accept <05375> (8799) thy person <06440>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech <02470> (8761) <06440> God <0410> that he will be gracious <02603> (8799) unto us: this hath been by your means <03027>: will he regard <05375> (8799) your persons <06440>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut <05462> (8799) the doors <01817> for nought? neither do ye kindle <0215> (8686) fire on mine altar <04196> for nought <02600>. I have no pleasure <02656> in you, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, neither will I accept <07521> (8799) an offering <04503> at your hand <03027>.
11 For from the rising <04217> of the sun <08121> even unto the going down <03996> of the same my name <08034> shall be great <01419> among the Gentiles <01471>; and in every place <04725> incense <06999> (8716) shall be offered <05066> (8716) unto my name <08034>, and a pure <02889> offering <04503>: for my name <08034> shall be great <01419> among the heathen <01471>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
12 But ye have profaned <02490> (8764) it, in that ye say <0559> (8800), The table <07979> of the LORD <03068> is polluted <01351> (8794); and the fruit <05108> thereof, even his meat <0400>, is contemptible <0959> (8737).
13 Ye said <0559> (8804) also, Behold, what a weariness <04972> is it! and ye have snuffed <05301> (8689) at it, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; and ye brought <0935> (8689) that which was torn <01497> (8803), and the lame <06455>, and the sick <02470> (8802); thus ye brought <0935> (8689) an offering <04503> : should I accept <07521> (8799) this of your hand <03027>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>.
14 But cursed <0779> (8803) be the deceiver <05230> (8802), which <03426> hath in his flock <05739> a male <02145>, and voweth <05087> (8802), and sacrificeth <02076> (8802) unto the Lord <0136> a corrupt thing <07843> (8716): for I am a great <01419> King <04428>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> , and my name <08034> is dreadful <03372> (8737) among the heathen <01471>.
