V.1 The burden 4853 of the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to Israel 3478 by 3027 Malachi. 4401

1:2 I have loved 157-1 you, saith 559-1 the LORD. 3068 Yet ye say, 559-1 Wherein hast thou loved 157-1 us? [Was] not Esau 6215 Jacob's 3290 brother? 251 saith 5002-7 the LORD: 3068 yet I loved 157-4 Jacob, 3290

1:3 And I hated 8130-1 Esau, 6215 and laid 7760-4 his mountains 2022 and his heritage 5159 waste 8077 for the dragons 8568 of the wilderness. 4057

1:4 Whereas Edom 123 saith, 559-4 We are impoverished, 7567- 27 but we will return 7725-4 and build 1129-4 the desolate places; 2723 thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 They shall build, 1129-4 but I will throw down; 2040-4 and they shall call 7121-1 them, The border 1366 of wickedness, 7564 and, The people 5971 against whom the LORD 3068 hath indignation 2194-1 for 5704 ever. 5769

1:5 And your eyes 5869 shall see, 7200-4 and ye shall say, 559-4 The LORD 3068 will be magnified 1431-4 from the border 1366 of Israel. 3478

1:6 A son 1121 honoureth 3513-17 [his] father, 1 and a servant 5650 his master: 113 if then I [be] a father, 1 where [is] mine honour? 3519 and if I [be] a master, 113 where [is] my fear? 4172 saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 unto you, O priests, 3548 that despise 959-6 my name. 8034 And ye say, 559-1 Wherein have we despised 959-1 thy name? 8034

1:7 Ye offer 5066-56 polluted 1351-30 bread 3899 upon mine altar; 4196 and ye say, 559-1 Wherein have we polluted 1351- 14 thee? In that ye say, 559-2 The table 7979 of the LORD 3068 [is] contemptible. 959-12

1:8 And if ye offer 5066-55 the blind 5787 for sacrifice, 2076-2 [is it] not evil? 7451 and if ye offer 5066-55 the lame 6455 and sick, 2470-6 [is it] not evil? 7451 offer 7126- 54 it now unto thy governor; 6346 will he be pleased 7521-4 with thee, or accept 5375-4 thy person? 6440 saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

1:9 And now, I pray you, beseech 2470-16 6440 God 410 that he will be gracious 2603-4 unto us: this hath been by your means: 3027 will he regard 5375-4 your persons? 6440 saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

1:10 Who [is there] even among you that would shut 5462-4 the doors 1817 [for nought]? neither do ye kindle 215-55 [fire] on mine altar 4196 for nought. 2600 I have no pleasure 2656 in you, saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 neither will I accept 7521-4 an offering 4503 at your hand. 3027

1:11 For from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121 even unto the going down 3996 of the same my name 8034 [shall be] great 1419 among the Gentiles; 1471 and in every place 4725 incense 6999-94 [shall be] offered 5066-94 unto my name, 8034 and a pure 2889 offering: 4503 for my name 8034 [shall be] great 1419 among the heathen, 1471 saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

1:12 But ye have profaned 2490-18 it, in that ye say, 559-2 The table 7979 of the LORD 3068 [is] polluted; 1351-30 and the fruit 5108 thereof, [even] his meat, 400 [is] contemptible. 959-12

1:13 Ye said 559-1 also, Behold, what a weariness 4972 [is it]! and ye have snuffed 5301-52 at it, saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 of hosts; 6635 and ye brought 935-52 [that which was] torn, 1497-7 and the lame, 6455 and the sick; 2470-6 thus ye brought 935-52 an offering: 4503 should I accept 7521-4 this of your hand? 3027 saith 559-1 the LORD. 3068
