Malachi 1 (kjv)

The burden^H4853 of the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 to Israel^H3478 by^H3027 Malachi^H4401.²I have loved^H157 you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. Yet ye say^H559, Wherein hast thou loved^H157 us? Was not Esau^H6215 Jacob's^H3290 brother^H251? saith^H559 the LORD^H3068: yet I loved^H157 Jacob^H3290,³And I hated^H8130 Esau^H6215, and laid^H7760 his mountains^H2022 and his heritage^H5159 waste^H8077 for the dragons^H8568 of the wilderness^H4057.⁴Whereas Edom^H123 saith^H559, We are impoverished^H7567, but we will return^H7725 and build^H1129 the desolate places^H2723; thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, They shall build^H1129, but I will throw down^H2040; and they shall call^H7121 them, The border^H1366 of wickedness^H7564, and, The people^H5971 against whom the LORD^H3068 hath indignation^H2194 for^H5704 ever^H5769.⁵And your eyes^H5869 shall see^H7200, and ye shall say^H559, The LORD^H3068 will be magnified^H1431 from the border^H1366 of Israel^H3478.⁶A son^H1121 honoureth^H3513 his father^H1, and a servant^H5650 his master^H113: if then I be a father^H1, where is mine honour^H3519? and if I be a master^H113, where is my fear^H4172? saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 unto you, O priests^H3548, that despise^H959 my name^H8034. And ye say^H559, Wherein have we despised^H959 thy name^H8034?⁷Ye offer^H5066 polluted^H1351 bread^H3899 upon mine altar^H4196; and ye say^H559, Wherein have we polluted^H1351 thee? In that ye say^H559, The table^H7979 of the LORD^H3068 is contemptible^H959.⁸And if ye offer^H5066 the blind^H5787 for sacrifice^H2076, is it not evil^H7451? and if ye offer^H5066 the lame^H6455 and sick^H2470, is it not evil^H7451? offer^H7126 it now unto thy governor^H6346; will he be pleased^H7521 with thee, or accept^H5375 thy person^H6440? saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.⁹And now, I pray you, beseech^{H2470 H6440} God^H410 that he will be gracious^H2603 unto us: this hath been by your means^H3027: will he regard^H5375 your persons^H6440? saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.¹⁰Who is there even among you that would shut^H5462 the doors^H1817 for nought? neither do ye kindle^H215 fire on mine altar^H4196 for nought^H2600. I have no pleasure^H2656 in you, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, neither will I accept^H7521 an offering^H4503 at your hand^H3027.¹¹For from the rising^H4217 of the sun^H8121 even unto the going down^H3996 of the same my name^H8034 shall be great^H1419 among the Gentiles^H1471; and in every place^H4725 incense^H6999 shall be offered^H5066 unto my name^H8034, and a pure^H2889 offering^H4503: for my name^H8034 shall be great^H1419 among the heathen^H1471, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.¹²But ye have profaned^H2490 it, in that ye say^H559, The table^H7979 of the LORD^H3068 is polluted^H1351; and the fruit^H5108 thereof, even his meat^H400, is contemptible^H959.¹³Ye said^H559 also, Behold, what a weariness^H4972 is it! and ye have snuffed^H5301 at it, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; and ye brought^H935 that which was torn^H1497, and the lame^H6455, and the sick^H2470; thus ye brought^H935 an offering^H4503: should I accept^H7521 this of your hand^H3027? saith^H559 the LORD^H3068.¹⁴But cursed^H779 be the deceiver^H5230, which^H3426 hath in his flock^H5739 a male^H2145, and voweth^H5087, and sacrificeth^H2076 unto the Lord^H136 a corrupt thing^H7843: for I am a great^H1419 King^H4428, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, and my name^H8034 is dreadful^H3372 among the heathen^H1471.
