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 your eyesH5869 shall seeH7200, and ye shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 will be magnifiedH1431 from the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. {from: or, upon: Heb. from upon}

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 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.

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}
