MAL-1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
MAL-1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein
hast thou loved
us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved
Jacob,
MAL-1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his
heritage waste for
the dragons of the wilderness.
MAL-1:4 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.
MAL-1:5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD
will be magnified
from the border of Israel.
MAL-1:6 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 LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise
my name. And
ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
MAL-1:7 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.
MAL-1:8 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
LORD of hosts.
MAL-1:9 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.
MAL-1:10 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 accept
an offering at
your hand.
MAL-1:11 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 LORD of hosts.
MAL-1:12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of
the LORD [is]
polluted; and the fruit thereof, [even] his meat, [is]
contemptible.
MAL-1:13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]! 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 of your
hand? saith the LORD.
MAL-1:14 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 LORD of hosts, and my name [is] dreadful among
the heathen.
MAL-2:1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment [is] for you.
MAL-2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay [it] to
heart, to give
glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a
curse upon
you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them
already, because
ye do not lay [it] to heart.
MAL-2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon
your faces,
[even] the dung of your solemn feasts; and [one] shall take you
away with it.
MAL-2:4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment
unto you, that my
covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
MAL-2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave
them to him
[for] the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my
name.
MAL-2:6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not
found in his
lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many
away from
iniquity.
MAL-2:7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they
should seek the
law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
MAL-2:8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many
to stumble at
the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD
of hosts.
MAL-2:9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base
before all the
people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been
partial in the
law.
MAL-2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created
us? why do we
deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning
the covenant of
our fathers?
MAL-2:11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is
committed in
Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of
the LORD
which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
MAL-2:12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the
master and the
scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth
an offering
unto the LORD of hosts.
MAL-2:13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the
LORD with
