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}

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.
Ye shall offer at your own willH7522 a maleH2145 without blemishH8549, of the beevesH1241, of the sheepH3775, or of the goatsH5795.
But whatsoever hath a blemishH3971, that shall ye not offerH7126: for it shall not be acceptableH7522 for you.
And whosoeverH376 offerethH7126 a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002 unto the LORDH3068 to accomplishH6381 his vowH5088, or a freewill offeringH5071 in beevesH1241 or sheepH6629, it shall be perfectH8549 to be acceptedH7522; there shall be no blemishH3971 therein. {sheep: or, goats}
BlindH5788, or brokenH7665, or maimedH2782, or having a wenH2990, or scurvyH1618, or scabbedH3217, ye shall not offerH7126 these unto the LORDH3068, nor makeH5414 an offering by fireH801 of them upon the altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068.
Either a bullockH7794 or a lambH7716 that hath any thing superfluousH8311 or lacking in his partsH7038, that mayest thou offerH6213 for a freewill offeringH5071; but for a vowH5088 it shall not be acceptedH7521. {lamb: or, kid}
Ye shall not offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068 that which is bruisedH4600, or crushedH3807, or brokenH5423, or cutH3772; neither shall ye makeH6213 any offering thereof in your landH776.
Neither from a stranger'sH5236 handH3027+H1121 shall ye offerH7126 the breadH3899 of your GodH430 of any of these; because their corruptionH4893 is in them, and blemishesH3971 be in them: they shall not be acceptedH7521 for you.
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}
And if there be any blemishH3971 therein, as if it be lameH6455, or blindH5787, or have any illH7451 blemishH3971, thou shalt not sacrificeH2076 it unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Therefore takeH3947 unto you now sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and goH3212 to my servantH5650 JobH347, and offer upH5927 for yourselves a burnt offeringH5930; and my servantH5650 JobH347 shall prayH6419 for you: for himH6440 will I acceptH5375: lest I dealH6213 with you after your follyH5039, in that ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing which is rightH3559, like my servantH5650 JobH347. {him: Heb. his face, or, person}
RememberH2142 all thy offeringsH4503, and acceptH1878 thy burnt sacrificeH5930; SelahH5542. {accept: Heb. turn to ashes: or, make fat}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto this peopleH5971, Thus have they lovedH157 to wanderH5128, they have not refrainedH2820 their feetH7272, therefore the LORDH3068 doth not acceptH7521 them; he will now rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403.
They sacrificeH2076 fleshH1320 for the sacrificesH2077 of mine offeringsH1890, and eatH398 it; but the LORDH3068 acceptethH7521 them not; now will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403: they shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714. {They sacrifice…: or, In the sacrifices of mine offerings they, etc}
