The burden of a
word of Jehovah
unto
Israel
by
the hand
of
Malachi:
This
is
the burden of the
word of the LORD
to
Israel
through
Malachi:
I have loved you, said
Jehovah
, And
ye
have said,
`In
what
hast
Thou
loved us? '
“
I have loved you, ”
says
the
LORD.
But
you
ask
, “How
have You
loved us? ”
“Was
not
Esau
Jacob’s
brother?”
declares
the
LORD.
“Yet
Jacob
I
have
loved,
Is
not
Esau
Jacob's
brother?
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
I
love
Jacob,
and
Esau I have hated, And I make
his mountains a desolation,
And his inheritance for
dragons
of
a
wilderness
.
but
Esau I have hated, and I have
made
his mountains a wasteland
and left
his inheritance to
the
desert
jackals
. ”
Because
Edom saith
, `
We have been made
poor
, And
we
turn
back
and
we build
the wastes
, '
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: They do
build, and
I do
destroy,
And
`men'
have
called to
them,
`O
region
of wickedness, '
`O
people whom Jehovah
defied
to
the age
. '
Though
Edom may
say
, “
We have been devastated
, but
we will
rebuild
the ruins
, ”
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
They may
build, but
I will
demolish.
They
will
be
called the
Land
of Wickedness, and
a
people with
whom the LORD
is
indignant
forever
.
And
your eyes do
see
, and ye
say, `Magnified
is Jehovah
beyond the border
of Israel ,
You
will
see
this
with
your own
eyes, and you
yourselves
will
say, ‘The
LORD
is great—even
beyond the borders
of Israel .’”
A son honoureth
a
father, and a servant his master. And
if I `
am '
a father, where `
is '
Mine
honour
? And if I `
am '
a master, where `
is '
My
fear? Said
Jehovah
of Hosts to you ,
O
priests ,
despising
My name !
And
ye
have
said:
`In
what
have we despised Thy
name? '
“
A son honors
his
father, and a servant his master. But
if I am a father, where is My
honor
? And if I am a master, where is your
fear of
Me
? ”
says
the
LORD
of Hosts to you priests who
despise
My name .
“But
you
ask,
‘How
have we despised Your
name? ’
Ye
are
bringing
nigh
on Mine
altar polluted
bread
, And
ye
have
said:
`In
what
have we polluted
Thee
? '
In
your
saying :
`
The table of Jehovah
--
it
`
is '
despicable,'
By
presenting
defiled
food
on My
altar .
But
you
ask
, ‘How
have we defiled
You
? ’
By
saying that
the table of the
LORD
is contemptible.
And
when ye
bring
nigh
the
blind for sacrifice, `There
is no
evil,'
And when ye
bring
nigh
the lame and sick, `There
is no
evil;'
Bring
it near,
I
pray
thee,
to thy
governor --
Doth
he accept
thee?
or doth
he
lift
up
thy
face
? Said
Jehovah
of Hosts.
When you
offer
blind animals
for sacrifice, is it
not
wrong?
And when you
present
the lame and sick ones
, is it not
wrong?
Try
offering
them
to your
governor !
Would
he be
pleased
with
you
or show
you
favor
? ”
asks
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
now ,
appease,
I
pray
thee,
the
face
of
God,
And
He doth
favour
us;
From your own
hand
hath
this
been
, Doth
He accept
of
you appearances
? Said
Jehovah
of Hosts.
“But
ask
now for
God’s
favor.
Will
He be
gracious?
Since
this
has
come
from your hands
, will
He show
you favor
? ”
asks
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Who
`is'
even
among
you
, And
he
shutteth
the two-leaved
doors ?
Yea
, ye
do
not
kindle Mine
altar for
nought,
I have
no pleasure in you, said
Jehovah
of Hosts, And a
present
I do
not
accept of
your hand
.
“Oh
, that
one
of
you
would
shut
the temple
doors, so
that
you
would
no
longer
kindle useless
fires
on
My
altar !
I take
no pleasure in you, ”
says
the
LORD
of Hosts, “
and I will
accept no
offering
from
your hands
.
For ,
from
the
rising
of
the
sun
to
its
going
in,
Great
`is'
My name among nations, And
in every place perfume
is
brought
nigh
to
My
name
, and a
pure present
, For
great
`is'
My name among nations, Said
Jehovah
of Hosts.
For My name will
be
great
among the
nations, from
where
the
sun
rises
to
where
it
sets.
In every place, incense
and pure offerings
will
be
presented
in
My
name
, because
My name will
be
great
among the
nations, ”
says
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
ye
are
polluting
it in
your
saying
, `
The table of Jehovah
--
it
is polluted
, As to
its fruit --
despicable
is
its food. '
“But
you
profane
it when
you
say
, ‘
The table of the
Lord
is defiled
, and
as for
its fruit ,
its food is
contemptible
. ’
And
ye
have
said,
`Lo
, what a weariness,'
And ye
have
puffed
at it, said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
And
ye
have
brought
in
plunder
, And
the
lame and
the
sick
, And
ye
have
brought
in
the
present
! Do
I accept it
from your hand
? said
Jehovah
.
You
also
say:
‘Oh
, what a nuisance!’
And you
turn
up
your
nose
at it, ”
says
the
LORD
of Hosts .
“You
bring
offerings
that
are
stolen
, lame, or
sick
! Should
I accept these
from your hands
? ”
asks
the
LORD
.
And
cursed `
is '
a
deceiver ,
who hath
in his drove
a
male,
And is
vowing
, and
is
sacrificing
a marred
thing
to the Lord ,
For a great king `am'
I
, said
Jehovah
of Hosts, And My name `
is '
revered
among nations !
“But
cursed is the
deceiver who has
an
acceptable
male
in his flock
and vows
to
give
it
, but
sacrifices
a defective
animal
to the Lord .
For I
am
a great King, ”
says
the
LORD
of Hosts, “
and My name is to
be
feared
among the
nations .
