Malachi 1

Malachi


1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

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, 

1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

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.

1:5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, 
The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

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? 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
