ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

11 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi .

12 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 .

13 And I hated Esau and laid his mountains and his heritage

waste for the dragons of the wilderness .

14 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 .

15 And your eyes shall see and ye shall say The LORD will be

magnified from the border of Israel .

16 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 .

17 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 .

18 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 .

19 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 .

110 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 .

111 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 .

112 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 .

113 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 .

114 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 .

* 21 And now O ye priests this commandment is for you .

22 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 .

23 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 .

24 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto

you that my covenant might be with Levi saith the LORD of hosts .

25 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 .

26 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 .

27 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 .

28 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 .

29 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 .

210 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 .

211 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 .

212 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 .

213 And this have ye done again covering the altar of the LORD

with tears with weeping and with crying out insomuch that he

regardeth not the offering any more or receiveth it with good

will at your hand .

214 Yet ye say Wherefore Because the LORD hath been witness

between thee and the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast

dealt treacherously yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy

covenant .

215 And did not he make one Yet had he the residue of the

spirit And wherefore one That he might seek a godly seed

Therefore take heed to your spirit and let none deal

treacherously against the wife of his youth .

216 For the LORD the God of Israel saith that he hateth

putting away for one covereth violence with his garment saith

the LORD of hosts therefore take heed to your spirit that ye

deal not treacherously .

217 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words Yet ye say

Wherein have we wearied him When ye say Every one that doeth

evil is good in the sight of the LORD and he delighteth in them

or Where is the God of judgment .

* 31 Behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the

way before me and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to

his temple even the messenger of the covenant whom ye delight in

behold he shall come saith the LORD of hosts .

32 But who may abide the day of his coming and who shall stand

when he appeareth for he is like a refiner's fire and like

fullers' soap .

33 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver and he

shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver

that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness .

34 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant

unto the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years .

35 And I will come near to you to judgment and I will be a

swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers

and against false swearers and against those that oppress the

hireling in his wages the widow and the fatherless and that turn

aside the stranger from his right and fear not me saith the LORD

of hosts .

36 For I am the LORD I change not therefore ye sons of Jacob

are not consumed .

37 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from

mine ordinances and have not kept them Return unto me and I will

return unto you saith the LORD of hosts But ye said Wherein

shall we return .

38 Will a man rob God Yet ye have robbed me But ye say Wherein

have we robbed thee In tithes and offerings .

39 Ye are cursed with a curse for ye have robbed me even this

whole nation .

310 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse that there may

be meat in mine house and prove me now herewith saith the LORD

of hosts if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour

you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to

receive it .

311 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes and he shall

not destroy the fruits of your ground neither shall your vine

cast her fruit before the time in the field saith the LORD of

hosts .

312 And all nations shall call you blessed for ye shall be a

delightsome land saith the LORD of hosts .

313 Your words have been stout against me saith the LORD Yet

ye say What have we spoken so much against thee .

314 Ye have said It is vain to serve God and what profit is it

that we have kept his ordinance and that we have walked

mournfully before the LORD of hosts .

315 And now we call the proud happy yea they that work

wickedness are set up yea they that tempt God are even delivered

316 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another

and the LORD hearkened and heard it and a book of remembrance

was written before him for them that feared the LORD and that

thought upon his name .

317 And they shall be mine saith the LORD of hosts in that day

when I make up my jewels and I will spare them as a man spareth

his own son that serveth him .

318 Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and

the wicked between him that serveth God and him that serveth him

not .

* 41 For behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven and

all the proud yea and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and

the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the LORD of hosts

that it shall leave them neither root nor branch .

42 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of

righteousness arise with healing in his wings and ye shall go

forth and grow up as calves of the stall .

43 And ye shall tread down the wicked for they shall be ashes

under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this

saith the LORD of hosts .

44 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant which I commanded

unto him in Horeb for all Israel with the statutes and judgments

45 Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming

of the great and dreadful day of the LORD .

46 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children

and the heart of the children to their fathers lest I come and

smite the earth with a curse .
