CHAP. I. 1 Malachi complaineth of Israel's unkindness, 6 of their irreligiousness, 12 and profaneness.


1   The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel note by Malachi.


2   I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, In what hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I note 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 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 note note from the border of Israel.


6   ¶2; A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is my honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, In what have we despised thy name?


7    noteYe offer polluted bread upon my altar? and ye say, In what have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.


8   And if ye offer the blind note for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now to thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.


9   And now, I pray you, beseech note God that he will be gracious to us: this hath been note by your means: will he regard your person? saith the Lord of hosts.


10   Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for naught? neither

-- --

Before CHRIST, 397. do ye kindle fire on my altar for naught. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an note offering at your hand.


11   For from the rising of the sun even to the setting of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.


12   ¶2; But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit of it, even his provision, is contemptible.


13   Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! note and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this from your hand? saith the Lord.


14   But cursed be the deceiver, note who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth to the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
