1 The|strong="H3068" burden|strong="H4853" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3478" Israel|strong="H3478" by|strong="H3027" Malachi|strong="H4401".
2 I|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3068" loved you|strong="H3808", saith|strong="H5002" the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068". Yet|strong="H3068" ye|strong="H3808" say, Wherein|strong="H4100" hast thou|strong="H4100" loved us? Was|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" Esau|strong="H6215" Jacob|strong="H3290"’s brother? saith|strong="H5002" the|strong="H5002" LORD|strong="H3068": yet|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3808" loved Jacob|strong="H3290";
3 but Esau|strong="H6215" I|strong="H7760" hated|strong="H8130", and|strong="H2022" made|strong="H7760" his|strong="H7760" mountains|strong="H2022" a|strong="H3068" desolation|strong="H8077", and|strong="H2022" gave his|strong="H7760" heritage|strong="H5159" to|strong="H5159" the|strong="H7760" jackals of|strong="H2022" the|strong="H7760" wilderness|strong="H4057".
4 Whereas|strong="H3588" Edom saith, We|strong="H3588" are|strong="H1992" beaten|strong="H7567" down|strong="H2040", but|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" return|strong="H7725" and|strong="H3068" build|strong="H1129" the|strong="H3588" waste|strong="H2723" places|strong="H2723"; thus|strong="H3541" saith the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635", They|strong="H1992" shall|strong="H3068" build|strong="H1129", but|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" throw down|strong="H2040": and|strong="H3068" men|strong="H5971" shall|strong="H3068" call|strong="H7121" them|strong="H1992" The|strong="H3588" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H3068" wickedness|strong="H7564", and|strong="H3068" The|strong="H3588" people|strong="H5971" against|strong="H3068" whom|strong="H1992" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" indignation|strong="H2194" for|strong="H3588" ever|strong="H5769".
5 And|strong="H3478" your|strong="H3068" eyes|strong="H5869" shall|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200", and|strong="H3478" ye|strong="H7200" shall|strong="H3068" say|strong="H3478", The|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" magnified|strong="H1431" beyond|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478".
6 A|strong="H3068" son|strong="H1121" honoureth|strong="H3513" his|strong="H3068" father|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" a|strong="H3068" servant|strong="H5650" his|strong="H3068" master: if|strong="H1121" then|strong="H4100" I|strong="H5650" be|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" father|strong="H1121", where|strong="H4100" is|strong="H3068" mine honour|strong="H3519"? and|strong="H1121" if|strong="H1121" I|strong="H5650" be|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" master, where|strong="H4100" is|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3068" fear|strong="H4172"? saith the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1121" hosts|strong="H6635" unto|strong="H3068" you|strong="H4100", O|strong="H3068" priests|strong="H3548", that|strong="H3068" despise my|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034". And|strong="H1121" ye say, Wherein|strong="H4100" have|strong="H3068" we|strong="H3068" despised thy|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034"?
7 Ye offer|strong="H5066" polluted|strong="H1351" bread|strong="H3899" upon|strong="H5921" mine altar|strong="H4196". And|strong="H3068" ye say, Wherein|strong="H1931" have|strong="H3068" we|strong="H3068" polluted|strong="H1351" thee? In|strong="H5921" that|strong="H1931" ye say, The|strong="H5921" table|strong="H7979" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" contemptible.
8 And|strong="H3068" when|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H7126" offer|strong="H7126" the|strong="H6440" blind|strong="H5787" for|strong="H3588" sacrifice|strong="H2076", it|strong="H7126" is|strong="H3068" no|strong="H5375" evil|strong="H7451"! and|strong="H3068" when|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H7126" offer|strong="H7126" the|strong="H6440" lame|strong="H6455" and|strong="H3068" sick|strong="H2470", it|strong="H7126" is|strong="H3068" no|strong="H5375" evil|strong="H7451"! Present|strong="H7126" it|strong="H7126" now|strong="H4994" unto|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" governor|strong="H6346"; will|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3588" be|strong="H3068" pleased|strong="H7521" with|strong="H3068" thee|strong="H6440"? or|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3588" accept|strong="H7521" thy|strong="H3068" person|strong="H6440"? saith the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635".
9 And|strong="H3068" now|strong="H6258", I|strong="H6258" pray|strong="H4994" you|strong="H6440", entreat|strong="H2470" the|strong="H6440" favour|strong="H2603" of|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", that|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" may|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" gracious|strong="H2603" unto|strong="H3068" us|strong="H4994": this|strong="H2063" hath|strong="H3068" been|strong="H1961" by|strong="H3027" your|strong="H3068" means|strong="H3027": will|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" accept|strong="H5375" any|strong="H4480" of|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" persons|strong="H6440"? saith the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635".
10 Oh|strong="H4310" that|strong="H3068" there|strong="H2656" were|strong="H3027" one|strong="H3808" among|strong="H4310" you|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3068" would|strong="H4310" shut|strong="H5462" the|strong="H3068" doors|strong="H1817", that|strong="H3068" ye|strong="H3808" might|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" kindle fire on mine|strong="H3027" altar|strong="H4196" in|strong="H3068" vain|strong="H2600"!

11 For|strong="H3588" from|strong="H1471" the|strong="H3605" rising|strong="H4217" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" sun|strong="H8121" even|strong="H5704" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" going|strong="H8121" down|strong="H3996" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" same|strong="H8034" my|strong="H3605" name|strong="H8034" is|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" among|strong="H8034" the|strong="H3605" Gentiles|strong="H1471"; and|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" every|strong="H3605" place|strong="H4725" incense|strong="H6999" is|strong="H3068" offered|strong="H6999" unto|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3605" name|strong="H8034", and|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" pure|strong="H2889" offering|strong="H4503": for|strong="H3588" my|strong="H3605" name|strong="H8034" is|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" among|strong="H8034" the|strong="H3605" Gentiles|strong="H1471", saith the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635".
12 But|strong="H1931" ye profane|strong="H2490" it|strong="H1931", in|strong="H1931" that|strong="H1931" ye say, The|strong="H2490" table|strong="H7979" of|strong="H7979" the|strong="H2490" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H1931" polluted|strong="H2490", and|strong="H7979" the|strong="H2490" fruit|strong="H2490" thereof, even his|strong="H2490" meat, is|strong="H1931" contemptible.
