dby - Malachi:1:6-14

dby@Malachi:1:6 @ 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 Jehovah of hosts unto you, priests, that despise my name. But ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

dby@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 Jehovah is contemptible.

dby@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? Present it now unto thy governor: will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts.

dby@Malachi:1:9 @ And now, I pray you, beseech �God that he will be gracious unto us. This hath been of your hand: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts.

dby@Malachi:1:10 @ Who is there among you that would even shut the doors? and ye would not kindle [fire] on mine altar for nothing. I have no delight in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an oblation at your hand.

dby@Malachi:1:11 @ For from the rising of the sun even unto its setting my name shall be great among the nations; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure oblation: for my name shall be great among the nations, saith Jehovah of hosts.

dby@Malachi:1:12 @ But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, his food, is contemptible.

dby@Malachi:1:13 @ And ye say, Behold, what a weariness! And ye have puffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and ye bring [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the oblation: should I accept this of your hand? saith Jehovah.

dby@Malachi:1:14 @ Yea, cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the nations.
