Mal 01:01 ¶ The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to Israel <03478> by <03027> Malachi <04401>. Mal 01:02 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>, Mal 01:03 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>. Mal 01:04 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>. Mal 01:05 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>. Mal 01:06 ¶ 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>? Mal 01:07 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). Mal 01:08 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>. Mal 01:09 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>. Mal 01:10 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>. Mal 01:11 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>. Mal 01:12 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). Mal 01:13 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>. Mal 01:14 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>. Mal 02:01 ¶ And now, O ye priests <03548>, this commandment <04687> is for you. Mal 02:02 If ye will not hear <08085> (8799), and if ye will not lay <07760> (8799) it to heart <03820>, to give <05414> (8800) glory <03519> unto my name <08034>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, I will even send <07971> (8765) a curse <03994> upon you, and I will curse <0779> (8804) your blessings <01293>: yea, I have cursed <0779> (8804) them already, because ye do not lay <07760> (8802) it to heart <03820>. Mal 02:03 Behold, I will corrupt <01605> (8802) your seed <02233>, and spread <02219> (8765) dung <06569> upon your faces <06440>, even the dung <06569> of your solemn feasts <02282>; and one shall take you away <05375> (8804) with it. Mal 02:04 And ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I have sent <07971> (8765) this commandment <04687> unto you, that my covenant <01285> might be with Levi <03878>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 02:05 My covenant <01285> was with him of life <02416> and peace <07965>; and I gave <05414> (8799) them to him for the fear <04172> wherewith he feared <03372> (8799) me, and was afraid <02865> (8738) before <06440> my name <08034>. Mal 02:06 The law <08451> of truth <0571> was in his mouth <06310>, and iniquity <05766> was not found <04672> (8738) in his lips <08193>: he walked <01980> (8804) with me in peace <07965> and equity <04334>, and did turn <07725> <00> many <07227> away <07725> (8689) from iniquity <05771>. Mal 02:07 For the priest’s <03548> lips <08193> should keep <08104> (8799) knowledge <01847>, and they should seek <01245> (8762) the law <08451> at his mouth <06310>: for he is the messenger <04397> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 02:08 But ye are departed <05493> (8804) out of the way <01870>; ye have caused many <07227> to stumble <03782> (8689) at the law <08451>; ye have corrupted <07843> (8765) the covenant <01285> of Levi <03878>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 02:09 Therefore have I also made <05414> (8804) you contemptible <0959> (8737) and base <08217> before all the people <05971>, according <06310> as ye have not kept <08104> (8802) my ways <01870>, but have been partial <05375> (8802) <06440> in the law <08451>. Mal 02:10 ¶ Have we not all one <0259> father <01>? hath not one <0259> God <0410> created <01254> (8804) us? why do we deal treacherously <0898> (8799) every man <0376> against his brother <0251>, by profaning <02490> (8763) the covenant <01285> of our fathers <01>? Mal 02:11 Judah <03063> hath dealt treacherously <0898> (8804), and an abomination <08441> is committed <06213> (8738) in Israel <03478> and in Jerusalem <03389>; for Judah <03063> hath profaned <02490> (8765) the holiness <06944> of the LORD <03068> which he loved <0157> (8804), and hath married <01166> (8804) the daughter <01323> of a strange <05236> god <0410>. Mal 02:12 The LORD <03068> will cut off <03772> (8686) the man <0376> that doeth <06213> (8799) this, the master <05782> (8802) and the scholar <06030> (8802), out of the tabernacles <0168> of Jacob <03290>, and him that offereth <05066> (8688) an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 02:13 And this have ye done <06213> (8799) again <08145>, covering <03680> (8763) the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> with tears <01832>, with weeping <01065>, and with crying out <0603>, insomuch that he regardeth <06437> (8800) not the offering <04503> any more, or receiveth <03947> (8800) it with good will <07522> at your hand <03027>. Mal 02:14 Yet ye say <0559> (8804), Wherefore <04100>? Because the LORD <03068> hath been witness <05749> (8689) between thee and the wife <0802> of thy youth <05271>, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously <0898> (8804): yet is she thy companion <02278>, and the wife <0802> of thy covenant <01285>. Mal 02:15 And did not he make <06213> (8804) one <0259>? Yet had he the residue <07605> of the spirit <07307>. And wherefore one <0259>? That he might seek <01245> (8764) a godly <0430> seed <02233>. Therefore take heed <08104> (8738) to your spirit <07307>, and let none deal treacherously <0898> (8799) against the wife <0802> of his youth <05271>. Mal 02:16 For the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, saith <0559> (8804) that he hateth <08130> (8804) putting away <07971> (8763): for one covereth <03680> (8765) violence <02555> with his garment <03830>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: therefore take heed <08104> (8738) to your spirit <07307>, that ye deal not treacherously <0898> (8799). Mal 02:17 Ye have wearied <03021> (8689) the LORD <03068> with your words <01697>. Yet ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein have we wearied <03021> (8689) him? When ye say <0559> (8800), Every one that doeth <06213> (8802) evil <07451> is good <02896> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and he delighteth <02654> (8804) in them; or, Where is the God <0430> of judgment <04941>? Mal 03:01 ¶ Behold, I will send <07971> (8802) my messenger <04397>, and he shall prepare <06437> (8765) the way <01870> before <06440> me: and the Lord <0113>, whom ye seek <01245> (8764), shall suddenly <06597> come <0935> (8799) to his temple <01964>, even the messenger <04397> of the covenant <01285>, whom ye delight <02655> in: behold, he shall come <0935> (8804), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 03:02 But who may abide <03557> (8772) the day <03117> of his coming <0935> (8800)? and who shall stand <05975> (8802) when he appeareth <07200> (8736)? for he is like a refiner’s <06884> (8764) fire <0784>, and like fullers <03526> (8764)‘ soap <01287>: Mal 03:03 And he shall sit <03427> (8804) as a refiner <06884> (8764) and purifier <02891> (8764) of silver <03701>: and he shall purify <02891> (8765) the sons <01121> of Levi <03878>, and purge <02212> (8765) them as gold <02091> and silver <03701>, that they may offer <05066> (8688) unto the LORD <03068> an offering <04503> in righteousness <06666>. Mal 03:04 Then shall the offering <04503> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> be pleasant <06149> (8804) unto the LORD <03068>, as in the days <03117> of old <05769>, and as in former <06931> years <08141>. Mal 03:05 And I will come near <07126> (8804) to you to judgment <04941>; and I will be a swift <04116> (8764) witness <05707> against the sorcerers <03784> (8764), and against the adulterers <05003> (8764), and against false <08267> swearers <07650> (8737), and against those that oppress <06231> (8802) the hireling <07916> in his wages <07939>, the widow <0490>, and the fatherless <03490>, and that turn aside <05186> (8688) the stranger <01616> from his right, and fear <03372> (8804) not me, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 03:06 For I am the LORD <03068>, I change <08138> (8804) not; therefore ye sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> are not consumed <03615> (8804). Mal 03:07 ¶ Even from the days <03117> of your fathers <01> ye are gone away <05493> (8804) from mine ordinances <02706>, and have not kept <08104> (8804) them. Return <07725> (8798) unto me, and I will return <07725> (8799) unto you, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. But ye said <0559> (8804), Wherein shall we return <07725> (8799)? Mal 03:08 Will a man <0120> rob <06906> (8799) God <0430>? Yet ye have robbed <06906> (8802) me. But ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein have we robbed <06906> (8804) thee? In tithes <04643> and offerings <08641>. Mal 03:09 Ye are cursed <0779> (8737) with a curse <03994>: for ye have robbed <06906> (8802) me, even this whole nation <01471>. Mal 03:10 Bring <0935> (8685) ye all the tithes <04643> into the storehouse <0214>, that there may be meat <02964> in mine house <01004>, and prove <0974> (8798) me now herewith <02063>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, if I will not open <06605> (8799) you the windows <0699> of heaven <08064>, and pour you out <07324> (8689) a blessing <01293>, that there shall not be room enough <01767> to receive it. Mal 03:11 And I will rebuke <01605> (8804) the devourer <0398> (8802) for your sakes, and he shall not destroy <07843> (8686) the fruits <06529> of your ground <0127>; neither shall your vine <01612> cast her fruit <07921> (8762) before the time in the field <07704>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 03:12 And all nations <01471> shall call you blessed <0833> (8765): for ye shall be a delightsome <02656> land <0776>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 03:13 ¶ Your words <01697> have been stout <02388> (8804) against me, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>. Yet ye say <0559> (8804), What have we spoken <01696> (8738) so much against thee? Mal 03:14 Ye have said <0559> (8804), It is vain <07723> to serve <05647> (8800) God <0430>: and what profit <01215> is it that we have kept <08104> (8804) his ordinance <04931>, and that we have walked <01980> (8804) mournfully <06941> before <06440> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>? Mal 03:15 And now we call <0833> <00> the proud <02086> happy <0833> (8764); yea, they that work <06213> (8802) wickedness <07564> are set up <01129> (8738); yea, they that tempt <0974> (8804) God <0430> are even delivered <04422> (8735). Mal 03:16 Then they that feared <03373> the LORD <03068> spake often <01696> (8738) one <0376> to another <07453>: and the LORD <03068> hearkened <07181> (8686), and heard <08085> (8799) it, and a book <05612> of remembrance <02146> was written <03789> (8735) before <06440> him for them that feared <03373> the LORD <03068>, and that thought <02803> (8802) upon his name <08034>. Mal 03:17 And they shall be mine, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, in that day <03117> when I make up <06213> (8802) my jewels <05459>; and I will spare <02550> (8804) them, as a man <0376> spareth <02550> (8799) his own son <01121> that serveth <05647> (8802) him. Mal 03:18 Then shall ye return <07725> (8804), and discern <07200> (8804) between the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>, between him that serveth <05647> (8802) God <0430> and him that serveth <05647> (8804) him not. Mal 04:01 ¶ For, behold, the day <03117> cometh <0935> (8802), that shall burn <01197> (8802) as an oven <08574>; and all the proud <02086>, yea, and all that do <06213> (8802) wickedly <07564>, shall be stubble <07179>: and the day <03117> that cometh <0935> (8802) shall burn them up <03857> (8765), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, that it shall leave <05800> (8799) them neither root <08328> nor branch <06057>. Mal 04:02 But unto you that fear <03373> my name <08034> shall the Sun <08121> of righteousness <06666> arise <02224> (8804) with healing <04832> in his wings <03671>; and ye shall go forth <03318> (8804), and grow up <06335> (8804) as calves <05695> of the stall <04770>. Mal 04:03 And ye shall tread down <06072> (8804) the wicked <07563>; for they shall be ashes <0665> under the soles <03709> of your feet <07272> in the day <03117> that I shall do <06213> (8802) this, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. Mal 04:04 ¶ Remember <02142> (8798) ye the law <08451> of Moses <04872> my servant <05650>, which I commanded <06680> (8765) unto him in Horeb <02722> for all Israel <03478>, with the statutes <02706> and judgments <04941>. Mal 04:05 Behold, I will send <07971> (8802) you Elijah <0452> the prophet <05030> before <06440> the coming <0935> (8800) of the great <01419> and dreadful <03372> (8737) day <03117> of the LORD <03068>: Mal 04:06 And he shall turn <07725> (8689) the heart <03820> of the fathers <01> to the children <01121>, and the heart <03820> of the children <01121> to their fathers <01>, lest I come <0935> (8799) and smite <05221> (8689) the earth <0776> with a curse <02764>. ~~~~~~
