@ I have
loved
you,
saith
the
LORD
. Yet ye
say
, Wherein hast thou
loved
us? Was not
Esau
Jacobs
brother
?
saith
the
LORD
: yet I
loved
Jacob
,
strkjv@Malachi:1:3
@ And I
hated
Esau
, and
laid
his
mountains

heritage
waste
for the

@ 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
.
strkjv@Malachi:1:5
@ And your
eyes

@ 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
?
strkjv@Malachi:1:7
@ 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

strkjv@Malachi:1:8
@ 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

strkjv@Malachi:1:9
@ 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
?

@ 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

strkjv@Malachi:1:11
@ 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

strkjv@Malachi:1:13
@ 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
be the
deceiver
,
which
hath in his

a
male

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
