The burden ⁴⁸⁵³ of the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ to Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ by ³⁰²⁷ Malachi ⁴⁴⁰¹ . [by...: Heb. by the hand of]

I have loved ^{157 , 8804} you, saith ^{5002 , 8803} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ . Yet ye say ^{559 , 8804} , Wherein hast thou loved ^{157 , 8804} us? Was not Esau ⁶²¹⁵ Jacob's ³²⁹⁰ brother ²⁵¹ ? saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ : yet I loved ^{157 , 8799} Jacob ³²⁹⁰ ,

And I hated ^{8130 , 8804} Esau ⁶²¹⁵ , and laid ^{7760 , 8799} his mountains ²⁰²² and his heritage ⁵¹⁵⁹ waste ⁸⁰⁷⁷ for the dragons ⁸⁵⁶⁸ of the wilderness ⁴⁰⁵⁷ .

Whereas Edom ¹²³ saith ^{559 , 8799} , We are impoverished ^{7567 , 8795} , but we will return ^{7725 , 8799} and build ^{1129 , 8799} the desolate places ²⁷²³ ; thus saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ , They shall build ^{1129 , 8799} , but I will throw down ^{2040 , 8799} ; and they shall call ^{7121 , 8804} them, The border ¹³⁶⁶ of wickedness ⁷⁵⁶⁴ , and, The people ⁵⁹⁷¹ against whom the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ hath indignation ^{2194 , 8804} for ⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever ⁵⁷⁶⁹ .

And your eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall see ^{7200 , 8799} , and ye shall say ^{559 , 8799} , The LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ will be magnified ^{1431 , 8799} from the border ¹³⁶⁶ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ . [from: or, upon: Heb. from upon]

A son ¹¹²¹ honoureth ^{3513 , 8762} his father ¹ , and a servant ⁵⁶⁵⁰ his master ¹¹³ : if then I be a father ¹ , where is mine honour ³⁵¹⁹ ? and if I be a master ¹¹³ , where is my fear ⁴¹⁷² ? saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ unto you, O priests ³⁵⁴⁸ , that despise ^{959 , 8802} my name ⁸⁰³⁴ . And ye say ^{559 , 8804} , Wherein have we despised ^{959 , 8804} thy name ⁸⁰³⁴ ?

Ye offer ^{5066 , 8688} polluted ^{1351 , 8794} bread ³⁸⁹⁹ upon mine altar ⁴¹⁹⁶ ; and ye say ^{559 , 8804} , Wherein have we polluted ^{1351 , 8765} thee? In that ye say ^{559 , 8800} , The table ⁷⁹⁷⁹ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ is contemptible ^{959 , 8737} . [offer...: or, bring unto, etc]

And if ye offer ^{5066 , 8686} the blind ⁵⁷⁸⁷ for sacrifice ^{2076 , 8800} , is it not evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ ? and if ye offer ^{5066 , 8686} the lame ⁶⁴⁵⁵ and sick ^{2470 , 8802} , is it not evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ ? offer ^{7126 , 8685} it now unto thy governor ⁶³⁴⁶ ; will he be pleased ^{7521 , 8799} with thee, or accept ^{5375 , 8799} thy person ⁶⁴⁴⁰ ? saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ . [for: Heb. to]

And now, I pray you, beseech ^{2470 , 8761 , 6440} God ⁴¹⁰ that he will be gracious ^{2603 , 8799} unto us: this hath been by your means ³⁰²⁷ : will he regard ^{5375 , 8799} your persons ⁶⁴⁴⁰ ? saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ . [God: Heb. the face of God] [by...: Heb. from your hand]

Who is there even among you that would shut ^{5462 , 8799} the doors ¹⁸¹⁷ for nought ? neither do ye kindle ^{215 , 8686} fire on mine altar ⁴¹⁹⁶ for nought ²⁶⁰⁰ . I have no pleasure ²⁶⁵⁶ in you, saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ , neither will I accept ^{7521 , 8799} an offering ⁴⁵⁰³ at your hand ³⁰²⁷ .

For from the rising ⁴²¹⁷ of the sun ⁸¹²¹ even unto the going down ³⁹⁹⁶ of the same my name ⁸⁰³⁴ shall be great ¹⁴¹⁹ among the Gentiles ¹⁴⁷¹ ; and in every place ⁴⁷²⁵ incense ^{6999 , 8716} shall be offered ^{5066 , 8716} unto my name ⁸⁰³⁴ , and a pure ²⁸⁸⁹ offering ⁴⁵⁰³ : for my name ⁸⁰³⁴ shall be great ¹⁴¹⁹ among the heathen ¹⁴⁷¹ , saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ .

Ye said ^{559 , 8804} also, Behold, what a weariness ⁴⁹⁷² is it ! and ye have snuffed ^{5301 , 8689} at it, saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ ; and ye brought ^{935 , 8689} that which was torn ^{1497 , 8803} , and the lame ⁶⁴⁵⁵ , and the sick ^{2470 , 8802} ; thus ye brought ^{935 , 8689} an offering ⁴⁵⁰³ : should I accept ^{7521 , 8799} this of your hand ³⁰²⁷ ? saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ . [and ye have...: or, whereas ye might have blown it away]

But cursed ^{779 , 8803} be the deceiver ^{5230 , 8802} , which ³⁴²⁶ hath in his flock ⁵⁷³⁹ a male ²¹⁴⁵ , and voweth ^{5087 , 8802} , and sacrificeth ^{2076 , 8802} unto the Lord ¹³⁶ a corrupt thing ^{7843 , 8716} : for I am a great ¹⁴¹⁹ King ⁴⁴²⁸ , saith ^{559 , 8804} the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ , and my name ⁸⁰³⁴ is dreadful ^{3372 , 8737} among the heathen ¹⁴⁷¹ . [which...: Heb. in whose flock is]
