The burden
of the word
of the LORD
to Israel
by
Malachi.
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,
And I hated
Esau,
and laid
his mountains
and his heritage
waste
for the dragons
of the wilderness.
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.

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

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.

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.
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.

ἐξιλάσκεσθε

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.
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.
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.
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.

But cursed

hath in his flock

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.
