1. The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.Israel Beloved of God
|
|
|
|
2. "I have loved you," says the Lord.
|
|
"Yet you say, 'In what way have You loved us?'
|
|
Was not Esau Jacob's brother?"
|
|
Says the Lord.
|
|
"Yet Jacob I have loved;
|
|
|
|
3. But Esau I have hated,
|
|
And laid waste his mountains and his heritage
|
|
For the jackals of the wilderness."
|
|
|
|
4. Even though Edom has said,
|
|
"We have been impoverished,
|
|
But we will return and build the desolate places,"
|
|
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
|
|
"They may build, but I will throw down;
|
|
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
|
|
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.
|
|
|
|
5. Your eyes shall see,
|
|
And you shall say,
|
|
'The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.'Polluted Offerings

6. "A son honors his father,
|
|
And a servant his master.
|
|
If then I am the Father,
|
|
Where is My honor?
|
|
And if I am a Master,
|
|
Where is My reverence?
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts
|
|
To you priests who despise My name.
|
|
Yet you say, 'In what way have we despised Your name?'
|
|
|
|
7. "You offer defiled food on My altar,
|
|
But say,
|
|
'In what way have we defiled You?'
|
|
By saying,
|
|
'The table of the Lord is contemptible.'
|
|
|
|
8. And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
|
|
Is it not evil?
|
|
And when you offer the lame and sick,
|
|
Is it not evil?
|
|
Offer it then to your governor!
|
|
Would he be pleased with you?
|
|
Would he accept you favorably?"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
9. "But now entreat God's favor,
|
|
That He may be gracious to us.
|
|
While this is being done by your hands,
|
|
Will He accept you favorably?"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
10. "Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
|
|
So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
|
|
I have no pleasure in you,"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts,
|
|
"Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.
|
|
|
|
11. For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
|
|
My name shall be great among the Gentiles;
|
|
In every place incense shall be offered to My name,
|
|
And a pure offering;
|
|
For My name shall be great among the nations,"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
12. "But you profane it,
|
|
In that you say,
|
|
'The table of the Lord is defiled;
|
|
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.'
|
|
|
|
13. You also say,
|
|
'Oh, what a weariness!'
|
|
And you sneer at it,"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts.
|
|
"And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
|
|
Thus you bring an offering!
|
|
Should I accept this from your hand?"
|
|
Says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
14. "But cursed be the deceiver
|
|
Who has in his flock a male,
|
|
And takes a vow,
|
|
But sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished--
|
|
For I am a great King,"
|
|
Says the Lord of hosts,
|
|
"And My name is to be feared among the nations.
