Mal 01:01 ¶ The burden <04853> of the word <01697> of the
LORD
<03068> to Israel <03478> by <03027> Malachi
<04401>.
Mal 01:02 I have loved <0157> (8804) you, saith <
05002> (8803)
the LORD <03068>. Yet ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein
hast thou
loved <0157> (8804) us? Was not Esau <06215> Jacob’s
<03290>
brother <0251>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <
03068>: yet I
loved <0157> (8799) Jacob <03290>,
Mal 01:03 And I hated <08130> (8804) Esau <06215>,
and laid
<07760> (8799) his mountains <02022> and his heritage
<05159>
waste <08077> for the dragons <08568> of the
wilderness <04057>.
Mal 01:04 Whereas Edom <0123> saith <0559> (8799),
We are
impoverished <07567> (8795), but we will return <
07725> (8799)
and build <01129> (8799) the desolate places <02723>;
thus saith
<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>,
They shall
build <01129> (8799), but I will throw down <02040>
(8799); and
they shall call <07121> (8804) them, The border <
01366> of
wickedness <07564>, and, The people <05971> against
whom the
LORD <03068> hath indignation <02194> (8804) for <
05704> ever
<05769>.
Mal 01:05 And your eyes <05869> shall see <07200>
(8799), and
ye shall say <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> will be
magnified
<01431> (8799) from the border <01366> of Israel <
03478>.
Mal 01:06 ¶ A son <01121> honoureth <03513> (8762)
his father
<01>, and a servant <05650> his master <0113>:
if then I be a
father <01>, where is mine honour <03519>? and if I
be a master
<0113>, where is my fear <04172>? saith <0559>
(8804) the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635> unto you, O priests <
03548>, that
despise <0959> (8802) my name <08034>. And ye say <
0559> (8804),
Wherein have we despised <0959> (8804) thy name <
08034>?
Mal 01:07 Ye offer <05066> (8688) polluted <01351>
(8794) bread
<03899> upon mine altar <04196>; and ye say <
0559> (8804),
Wherein have we polluted <01351> (8765) thee? In that ye
say
<0559> (8800), The table <07979> of the LORD <
03068> is
contemptible <0959> (8737).
Mal 01:08 And if ye offer <05066> (8686) the blind <
05787> for
sacrifice <02076> (8800), is it not evil <07451>? and
if ye
offer <05066> (8686) the lame <06455> and sick <
02470> (8802),
is it not evil <07451>? offer <07126> (8685) it now
unto thy
governor <06346>; will he be pleased <07521> (8799)
with thee,
or accept <05375> (8799) thy person <06440>? saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
Mal 01:09 And now, I pray you, beseech <02470> (8761) <
06440>
God <0410> that he will be gracious <02603> (8799)
unto us: this
hath been by your means <03027>: will he regard <
05375> (8799)
your persons <06440>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD
<03068> of
hosts <06635>.
Mal 01:10 Who is there even among you that would shut <
05462>
(8799) the doors <01817> for nought? neither do ye kindle
<0215>
(8686) fire on mine altar <04196> for nought <02600>.
I have no
pleasure <02656> in you, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD
<03068> of
hosts <06635>, neither will I accept <07521> (8799)
an offering
<04503> at your hand <03027>.
Mal 01:11 For from the rising <04217> of the sun <
08121> even
unto the going down <03996> of the same my name <
08034> shall be
great <01419> among the Gentiles <01471>; and in
every place
<04725> incense <06999> (8716) shall be offered <
05066> (8716)
unto my name <08034>, and a pure <02889> offering <
04503>: for
my name <08034> shall be great <01419> among the
heathen <01471>,
saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <
06635>.
Mal 01:12 But ye have profaned <02490> (8764) it, in that
ye
say <0559> (8800), The table <07979> of the LORD <
03068> is
polluted <01351> (8794); and the fruit <05108>
thereof, even his
meat <0400>, is contemptible <0959> (8737).
Mal 01:13 Ye said <0559> (8804) also, Behold, what a
weariness
<04972> is it! and ye have snuffed <05301> (8689) at
it, saith
<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>;
and ye brought
<0935> (8689) that which was torn <01497> (8803), and
the lame
<06455>, and the sick <02470> (8802); thus ye brought
<0935>
(8689) an offering <04503>: should I accept <07521>
(8799) this
of your hand <03027>? saith <0559> (8804) the LORD
<03068>.
Mal 01:14 But cursed <0779> (8803) be the deceiver <
05230>
(8802), which <03426> hath in his flock <05739> a
male <02145>,
and voweth <05087> (8802), and sacrificeth <02076>
(8802) unto
the Lord <0136> a corrupt thing <07843> (8716): for I
am a great
<01419> King <04428>, saith <0559> (8804) the
LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>, and my name <08034> is dreadful <
03372> (8737)
among the heathen <01471>.
Mal 02:01 ¶ And now, O ye priests <03548>, this commandment
<04687> is for you.
Mal 02:02 If ye will not hear <08085> (8799), and if ye
will
not lay <07760> (8799) it to heart <03820>, to give
<05414>
(8800) glory <03519> unto my name <08034>, saith <
0559> (8804)
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, I will even send
<07971>
(8765) a curse <03994> upon you, and I will curse <
0779> (8804)
your blessings <01293>: yea, I have cursed <0779>
(8804) them
already, because ye do not lay <07760> (8802) it to heart
<03820>.
Mal 02:03 Behold, I will corrupt <01605> (8802) your seed
<02233>, and spread <02219> (8765) dung <06569>
upon your faces
<06440>, even the dung <06569> of your solemn feasts
<02282>;
and one shall take you away <05375> (8804) with it.
Mal 02:04 And ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I have
sent
<07971> (8765) this commandment <04687> unto you,
that my
covenant <01285> might be with Levi <03878>, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
Mal 02:05 My covenant <01285> was with him of life <
02416> and
peace <07965>; and I gave <05414> (8799) them to him
for the
fear <04172> wherewith he feared <03372> (8799) me,
and was
afraid <02865> (8738) before <06440> my name <
08034>.
Mal 02:06 The law <08451> of truth <0571> was in his
mouth
<06310>, and iniquity <05766> was not found <
04672> (8738) in
his lips <08193>: he walked <01980> (8804) with me in
peace
<07965> and equity <04334>, and did turn <07725>
<00> many
<07227> away <07725> (8689) from iniquity <
05771>.
Mal 02:07 For the priest’s <03548> lips <08193>
should keep
<08104> (8799) knowledge <01847>, and they should
seek <01245>
(8762) the law <08451> at his mouth <06310>: for he
is the
messenger <04397> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <
06635>.
Mal 02:08 But ye are departed <05493> (8804) out of the
way
<01870>; ye have caused many <07227> to stumble <
03782> (8689)
at the law <08451>; ye have corrupted <07843> (8765)
the
covenant <01285> of Levi <03878>, saith <0559>
(8804) the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635>.
Mal 02:09 Therefore have I also made <05414> (8804) you
contemptible <0959> (8737) and base <08217> before
all the
people <05971>, according <06310> as ye have not kept
<08104>
(8802) my ways <01870>, but have been partial <05375>
(8802)
<06440> in the law <08451>.
Mal 02:10 ¶ Have we not all one <0259> father <01>?
hath not one
<0259> God <0410> created <01254> (8804) us?
why do we deal
treacherously <0898> (8799) every man <0376> against
his brother
<0251>, by profaning <02490> (8763) the covenant <
01285> of our
fathers <01>?
Mal 02:11 Judah <03063> hath dealt treacherously <
0898> (8804),
and an abomination <08441> is committed <06213>
(8738) in Israel
<03478> and in Jerusalem <03389>; for Judah <
03063> hath
profaned <02490> (8765) the holiness <06944> of the
LORD <03068>
which he loved <0157> (8804), and hath married <01166>
(8804)
the daughter <01323> of a strange <05236> god <
0410>.
Mal 02:12 The LORD <03068> will cut off <03772>
(8686) the man
<0376> that doeth <06213> (8799) this, the master <
05782> (8802)
and the scholar <06030> (8802), out of the tabernacles <
0168> of
Jacob <03290>, and him that offereth <05066> (8688)
an offering
<04503> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
Mal 02:13 And this have ye done <06213> (8799) again <
08145>,
covering <03680> (8763) the altar <04196> of the LORD
<03068>
with tears <01832>, with weeping <01065>, and with
crying out
<0603>, insomuch that he regardeth <06437> (8800) not
the
offering <04503> any more, or receiveth <03947>
(8800) it with
good will <07522> at your hand <03027>.
Mal 02:14 Yet ye say <0559> (8804), Wherefore <04100>
? Because
the LORD <03068> hath been witness <05749> (8689)
between thee
and the wife <0802> of thy youth <05271>, against
whom thou hast
dealt treacherously <0898> (8804): yet is she thy companion
<02278>, and the wife <0802> of thy covenant <
01285>.
Mal 02:15 And did not he make <06213> (8804) one <
0259>? Yet
had he the residue <07605> of the spirit <07307>. And
wherefore
one <0259>? That he might seek <01245> (8764) a godly
<0430>
seed <02233>. Therefore take heed <08104> (8738) to
your spirit
<07307>, and let none deal treacherously <0898>
(8799) against
the wife <0802> of his youth <05271>.
Mal 02:16 For the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of
Israel
<03478>, saith <0559> (8804) that he hateth <
08130> (8804)
putting away <07971> (8763): for one covereth <03680>
(8765)
violence <02555> with his garment <03830>, saith <
0559> (8804)
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: therefore take
heed <08104>
(8738) to your spirit <07307>, that ye deal not
treacherously
<0898> (8799).
Mal 02:17 Ye have wearied <03021> (8689) the LORD <
03068> with
your words <01697>. Yet ye say <0559> (8804), Wherein
have we
wearied <03021> (8689) him? When ye say <0559> (8800),
Every one
that doeth <06213> (8802) evil <07451> is good <
02896> in the
sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and he delighteth
<02654>
(8804) in them; or, Where is the God <0430> of judgment <
04941>?
Mal 03:01 ¶ Behold, I will send <07971> (8802) my messenger
<04397>, and he shall prepare <06437> (8765) the way
<01870>
before <06440> me: and the Lord <0113>, whom ye seek
<01245>
(8764), shall suddenly <06597> come <0935> (8799) to
his temple
<01964>, even the messenger <04397> of the covenant
<01285>,
whom ye delight <02655> in: behold, he shall come <
0935> (8804),
saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <
06635>.
Mal 03:02 But who may abide <03557> (8772) the day <
03117> of
his coming <0935> (8800)? and who shall stand <05975>
(8802)
when he appeareth <07200> (8736)? for he is like a
refiner’s
<06884> (8764) fire <0784>, and like fullers <
03526> (8764)‘
soap <01287>:
Mal 03:03 And he shall sit <03427> (8804) as a refiner <
06884>
(8764) and purifier <02891> (8764) of silver <03701>:
and he
shall purify <02891> (8765) the sons <01121> of Levi
<03878>,
and purge <02212> (8765) them as gold <02091> and
silver <03701>,
that they may offer <05066> (8688) unto the LORD <
03068> an
offering <04503> in righteousness <06666>.
Mal 03:04 Then shall the offering <04503> of Judah <
03063> and
Jerusalem <03389> be pleasant <06149> (8804) unto the
LORD
<03068>, as in the days <03117> of old <05769>,
and as in former
<06931> years <08141>.
Mal 03:05 And I will come near <07126> (8804) to you to
judgment <04941>; and I will be a swift <04116>
(8764) witness
<05707> against the sorcerers <03784> (8764), and
against the
adulterers <05003> (8764), and against false <08267>
swearers
<07650> (8737), and against those that oppress <06231>
(8802)
the hireling <07916> in his wages <07939>, the widow
<0490>, and
the fatherless <03490>, and that turn aside <05186>
(8688) the
stranger <01616> from his right, and fear <03372>
(8804) not me,
saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <
06635>.
Mal 03:06 For I am the LORD <03068>, I change <08138>
(8804)
not; therefore ye sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> are
not consumed
<03615> (8804).
Mal 03:07 ¶ Even from the days <03117> of your fathers <
01> ye
are gone away <05493> (8804) from mine ordinances <
02706>, and
have not kept <08104> (8804) them. Return <07725>
(8798) unto me,
and I will return <07725> (8799) unto you, saith <
0559> (8804)
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. But ye said <
0559> (8804),
Wherein shall we return <07725> (8799)?
Mal 03:08 Will a man <0120> rob <06906> (8799) God
<0430>? Yet
ye have robbed <06906> (8802) me. But ye say <0559>
(8804),
Wherein have we robbed <06906> (8804) thee? In tithes <
04643>
and offerings <08641>.
Mal 03:09 Ye are cursed <0779> (8737) with a curse <
03994>: for
ye have robbed <06906> (8802) me, even this whole nation
<01471>.
Mal 03:10 Bring <0935> (8685) ye all the tithes <
04643> into
