new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H4853 The burden H1697 of the word H3068 of the LORD H3478 to Israel H3027 by H4401 Malachi.

2 H157 [H8804] I have loved H5002 [H8803] you, saith H3068 the LORD. H559 [H8804] Yet ye say, H157 [H8804] How hast thou loved H6215 us? Was not Esau H3290 Jacob's H251 brother? H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD: H157 [H8799] yet I loved H3290 Jacob,

3 H8130 [H8804] And I hated H6215 Esau, H7760 [H8799] and laid H2022 his mountains H5159 and his inheritance H8077 waste H8568 for the dragons H4057 of the wilderness.

4 H123 Though Edom H559 [H8799] saith, H7567 [H8795] We are impoverished, H7725 [H8799] but we will return H1129 [H8799] and build H2723 the dry places; H559 [H8804] thus saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H1129 [H8799] They shall build, H2040 [H8799] but I will throw down; H7121 [H8804] and they shall call H1366 them, The border H7564 of wickedness, H5971 and, The people H3068 against whom the LORD H2194 [H8804] hath foamed at the mouth H5704 for H5769 ever.

5 H5869 And your eyes H7200 [H8799] shall see, H559 [H8799] and ye shall say, H3068 The LORD H1431 [H8799] will be magnified H1366 from the border H3478 of Israel.

6 H1121 A son H3513 [H8762] honoureth H1 his father, H5650 and a servant H113 his master: H1 if then I am a father, H3519 where is my glory? H113 and if I am a master, H4172 where is my fear? H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H3548 to you, O priests, H959 [H8802] that despise H8034 my name. H559 [H8804] And ye say, H959 [H8804] How have we despised H8034 thy name?

7 H5066 [H8688] Ye offer H1351 [H8794] polluted H3899 bread H4196 upon my altar; H559 [H8804] and ye say, H1351 [H8765] How have we polluted H559 [H8800] thee? In that ye say, H7979 The table H3068 of the LORD H959 [H8737] is contemptible.

8 H5066 [H8686] And if ye offer H5787 the blind H2076 [H8800] for sacrifice, H7451 is it not evil? H5066 [H8686] and if ye offer H6455 the lame H2470 [H8802] and sick, H7451 is it not evil? H7126 [H8685] offer H6346 it now to thy governor; H7521 [H8799] will he be pleased H5375 [H8799] with thee, or accept H6440 thy person? H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

9 H2470 H6440 [H8761] And now, I pray you, beseech H410 God H2603 [H8799] that he will be gracious H3027 to us: this hath been by your means: H5375 [H8799] will he regard H6440 your person? H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

10 H5462 [H8799] Who is there even among you that would shut H1817 the doors H215 [H8686] for nought? neither do ye kindle H4196 fire on my altar H2600 for nought. H2656 I have no pleasure H559 [H8804] in you, saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H7521 [H8799] neither will I accept H4503 an offering H3027 at your hand.

11 H4217 For from the rising H8121 of the sun H3996 even to the setting H8034 of the same my name H1419 shall be great H1471 among the nations; H4725 and in every place H6999 [H8716] incense H5066 [H8716] shall be offered H8034 to my name, H2889 and a pure H4503 offering: H8034 for my name H1419 shall be great H1471 among the nations, H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

12 H2490 [H8764] But ye have profaned H559 [H8800] it, in that ye say, H7979 The table H3068 of the LORD H1351 [H8794] is polluted; H5108 and the fruit H400 of it, even his food, H959 [H8737] is contemptible.

13 H559 [H8804] Ye said H4972 also, Behold, what a weariness H5301 [H8689] is it! and ye have sneered H559 [H8804] at it, saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts; H935 [H8689] and ye brought H1497 [H8803] that which was torn, H6455 and the lame, H2470 [H8802] and the sick; H935 [H8689] thus ye brought H4503 an offering: H7521 [H8799] should I accept H3027 this from your hand? H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD.

14 H779 [H8803] But cursed H5230 [H8802] be the deceiver, H3426 who H5739 hath in his flock H2145 a male, H5087 [H8802] and voweth, H2076 [H8802] and sacrificeth H136 to the Sovereign H7843 [H8716] a decayed thing: H1419 for I am a great H4428 King, H559 [H8804] saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H8034 and my name H3372 [H8737] is terrible H1471 among the nations.
