ylt @Malachi:1:1 @The burden of a word of Jehovah unto Israel by the hand of Malachi : ylt @Malachi:1:2 @I have loved you , said Jehovah , And ye have said , 'In what hast Thou loved us ?' ylt @Malachi:1:3 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:4 @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 .' ylt @Malachi:1:5 @And your eyes do see , and ye say , 'Magnified is Jehovah beyond the border of Israel , ylt @Malachi:1:6 @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 ?' ylt @Malachi:1:7 @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 ,' ylt @Malachi:1:8 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:9 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:10 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:11 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:12 @And ye are polluting it in your saying , 'The table of Jehovah -- it is polluted , As to its fruit -- despicable is its food .' ylt @Malachi:1:13 @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 . ylt @Malachi:1:14 @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 !
