The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsraelH3478 byH3027 MalachiH4401. {by…: Heb. by the hand of}
I have lovedH157 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein hast thou lovedH157 us? Was not EsauH6215 Jacob'sH3290 brotherH251? saithH559 the LORDH3068: yet I lovedH157 JacobH3290,
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
And your eyesH5869 shall seeH7200, and ye shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 will be magnifiedH1431 from the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. {from: or, upon: Heb. from upon}
A sonH1121 honourethH3513 his fatherH1, and a servantH5650 his masterH113: if then I be a fatherH1, where is mine honourH3519? and if I be a masterH113, where is my fearH4172? saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto you, O priestsH3548, that despiseH959 my nameH8034. And ye sayH559, Wherein have we despisedH959 thy nameH8034?
Ye offerH5066 pollutedH1351 breadH3899 upon mine altarH4196; and ye sayH559, Wherein have we pollutedH1351 thee? In that ye sayH559, The tableH7979 of the LORDH3068 is contemptibleH959. {offer…: or, bring unto, etc}
And if ye offerH5066 the blindH5787 for sacrificeH2076, is it not evilH7451? and if ye offerH5066 the lameH6455 and sickH2470, is it not evilH7451? offerH7126 it now unto thy governorH6346; will he be pleasedH7521 with thee, or acceptH5375 thy personH6440? saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {for: Heb. to}
And now, I pray you, beseechH2470+H6440 GodH410 that he will be graciousH2603 unto us: this hath been by your meansH3027: will he regardH5375 your personsH6440? saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {God: Heb. the face of God} {by…: Heb. from your hand}
Who is there even among you that would shutH5462 the doorsH1817 for nought? neither do ye kindleH215 fire on mine altarH4196 for noughtH2600. I have no pleasureH2656 in you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, neither will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 at your handH3027.
For from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 even unto the going downH3996 of the same my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the GentilesH1471; and in every placeH4725 incenseH6999 shall be offeredH5066 unto my nameH8034, and a pureH2889 offeringH4503: for my nameH8034 shall be greatH1419 among the heathenH1471, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But ye have profanedH2490 it, in that ye sayH559, The tableH7979 of the LORDH3068 is pollutedH1351; and the fruitH5108 thereof, even his meatH400, is contemptibleH959.
Ye saidH559 also, Behold, what a wearinessH4972 is it! and ye have snuffedH5301 at it, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and ye broughtH935 that which was tornH1497, and the lameH6455, and the sickH2470; thus ye broughtH935 an offeringH4503: should I acceptH7521 this of your handH3027? saithH559 the LORDH3068. {and ye have…: or, whereas ye might have blown it away}
But cursedH779 be the deceiverH5230, whichH3426 hath in his flockH5739 a maleH2145, and vowethH5087, and sacrificethH2076 unto the LordH136 a corrupt thingH7843: for I am a greatH1419 KingH4428, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and my nameH8034 is dreadfulH3372 among the heathenH1471. {which…: Heb. in whose flock is}

But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}

Ye have weariedH3021 the LORDH3068 with your wordsH1697. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein have we weariedH3021 him? When ye sayH559, Every one that doethH6213 evilH7451 is goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and he delightethH2654 in them; or, Where is the GodH430 of judgmentH4941?
Ye shall fearH3372 every manH376 his motherH517, and his fatherH1, and keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.

Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?

YeG5210 callG5455 meG3165 MasterG1320 andG2532 LordG2962: andG2532 ye sayG3004 wellG2573; forG1063 so I amG1510.

But now, O LORDH3068, thou art our fatherH1; we are the clayH2563, and thou our potterH3335; and we all are the workH4639 of thy handH3027.
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
The eyeH5869 that mockethH3932 at his fatherH1, and despisethH936 to obeyH3349 his motherH517, the ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 shall pick it outH5365, and the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it. {the valley: or, the brook}
HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonourG5091 the kingG935. {Honour all: or, Esteem all}
ServantsG3610, be subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the frowardG4646.
ForG1063 thisG5124 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. {thankworthy: or, thank}
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
For both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profaneH2610; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
ForG1063 GodG2316 commandedG1781, sayingG3004, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384: andG2532, He that cursethG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, let him dieG5053 the deathG2288.
After this mannerG3779 thereforeG3767 prayG4336 yeG5210: OurG2257 FatherG3962 whichG3588 art inG1722 heavenG3772, Hallowed beG37 thyG4675 nameG3686.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
AndG2532 honourG5091 notG3364 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384, he shall be free. ThusG2532 have ye madeG208 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG5216 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5213:
My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121. {destroyed: Heb. cut off}
For though thou washH3526 thee with nitreH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is markedH3799 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thy motherG3384: andG2532, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572.
ButG1161 ifG3362 ye forgiveG863 notG3362 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, neitherG3761 will yourG5216 FatherG3962 forgiveG863 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
HearH8085 ye this, O priestsH3548; and hearkenH7181, ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and give ye earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for judgmentH4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snareH6341 on MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396.
And EphraimH669 saidH559, Yet I am become richH6238, I have found me outH4672 substanceH202: in all my laboursH3018 they shall findH4672 none iniquityH5771 in me that were sinH2399. {in all…: or, all my labours suffice me not: he shall have punishment of iniquity in whom is sin} {that: Heb. which}
ForG1063 MosesG3475 saidG2036, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384; andG2532, Whoso cursethG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, let him dieG5053 the deathG2288:
Be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 mercifulG3629, asG2531 yourG5216 FatherG3962 alsoG2532 isG2076 mercifulG3629.
ButG1161 he, willingG2309 to justifyG1344 himselfG1438, saidG2036 untoG4314 JesusG2424, AndG2532 whoG5101 isG2076 myG3450 neighbourG4139?

AndG1161 whyG5101 call yeG2564 meG3165, LordG2962, LordG2962, andG2532 doG4160 notG3756 the things whichG3739 I sayG3004?
Thou knowestG1492 the commandmentsG1785, DoG3431 notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, DoG5407 notG3361 killG5407, DoG2813 notG3361 stealG2813, DoG5576 notG3361 bear false witnessG5576, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384.
