Then the prophetsH5029, HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5029, and ZechariahH2148 the sonH1247 of IddoH5714, prophesiedH5013 untoH5922 the JewsH3062 that were in JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390 in the nameH8036 of the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, even untoH5922 them.
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}
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 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578; and the one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 than the other peopleH3816; and the elderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
Then shall the offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasantH6149 unto the LORDH3068, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141. {former: or, ancient}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
For I am the LORDH3068, I changeH8138 not; therefore ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 are not consumedH3615.
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?
Will a manH120 robH6906 GodH430? Yet ye have robbedH6906 me. But ye sayH559, Wherein have we robbedH6906 thee? In tithesH4643 and offeringsH8641.
Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH3994: for ye have robbedH6906 me, even this whole nationH1471.
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
And I will rebukeH1605 the devourerH398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of your groundH127; neither shall your vineH1612 cast her fruitH7921 before the time in the fieldH7704, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {destroy: Heb. corrupt}
And all nationsH1471 shall call you blessedH833: for ye shall be a delightsomeH2656 landH776, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
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}
And now we callH833 the proudH2086 happyH833; yea, they that workH6213 wickednessH7564 are set upH1129; yea, they that temptH974 GodH430 are even deliveredH4422. {are set up: Heb. are built}
Then they that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 spake oftenH1696 oneH376 to anotherH7453: and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH7181, and heardH8085 it, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 him for them that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and that thoughtH2803 upon his nameH8034.
And they shall be mine, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in that dayH3117 when I make upH6213 my jewelsH5459; and I will spareH2550 them, as a manH376 sparethH2550 his own sonH1121 that servethH5647 him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
Then shall ye returnH7725, and discernH7200 between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that servethH5647 GodH430 and him that servethH5647 him not.
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
AsG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the prophetsG4396, BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121 BabelH894; because the LORDH3068 did there confoundH1101 the languageH8193 of all the earthH776: and from thence didH6327 the LORDH3068 scatter them abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776. {Babel: that is, Confusion}
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

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}
And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.
If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820.
Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 unto you, that my covenantH1285 might be with LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
My covenantH1285 was with him of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965; and I gaveH5414 them to him for the fearH4172 wherewith he fearedH3372 me, and was afraidH2865 beforeH6440 my nameH8034.
The lawH8451 of truthH571 was in his mouthH6310, and iniquityH5766 was not foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with me in peaceH7965 and equityH4334, and did turnH7725 manyH7227 awayH7725 from iniquityH5771.
For the priest'sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
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}
Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH5375+H6440 in the lawH8451. {have been…: or, lifted up the face against: Heb. accepted faces}
Have we not all oneH259 fatherH1? hath not oneH259 GodH410 createdH1254 us? why do we deal treacherouslyH898 every manH376 against his brotherH251, by profaningH2490 the covenantH1285 of our fathersH1?
JudahH3063 hath dealt treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 is committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 hath profanedH2490 the holinessH6944 of the LORDH3068 which he lovedH157, and hath marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a strangeH5236 godH410. {loved: or, ought to love}
The LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 the manH376 that doethH6213 this, the masterH5782 and the scholarH6030, out of the tabernaclesH168 of JacobH3290, and him that offerethH5066 an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {the master…: or, him that waketh, and him that answereth}
And this have ye doneH6213 againH8145, coveringH3680 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065, and with crying outH603, insomuch that he regardethH6437 not the offeringH4503 any more, or receivethH3947 it with good willH7522 at your handH3027.
Yet ye sayH559, WhereforeH4100? Because the LORDH3068 hath been witnessH5749 between thee and the wifeH802 of thy youthH5271, against whom thou hast dealt treacherouslyH898: yet is she thy companionH2278, and the wifeH802 of thy covenantH1285.
And did not he makeH6213 oneH259? Yet had he the residueH7605 of the spiritH7307. And wherefore oneH259? That he might seekH1245 a godlyH430 seedH2233. Therefore take heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, and let none deal treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of his youthH5271. {residue: or, excellency} {godly…: Heb. seed of God} {treacherously: or, unfaithfully}
For the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559 that he hatethH8130 putting awayH7971: for one coverethH3680 violenceH2555 with his garmentH3830, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: therefore take heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that ye deal not treacherouslyH898. {that he…: or, if he hate her, put her away} {putting…: Heb. to put away}
For I am the LORDH3068, I changeH8138 not; therefore ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 are not consumedH3615.
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?
Will a manH120 robH6906 GodH430? Yet ye have robbedH6906 me. But ye sayH559, Wherein have we robbedH6906 thee? In tithesH4643 and offeringsH8641.
Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH3994: for ye have robbedH6906 me, even this whole nationH1471.
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
And I will rebukeH1605 the devourerH398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of your groundH127; neither shall your vineH1612 cast her fruitH7921 before the time in the fieldH7704, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {destroy: Heb. corrupt}
And all nationsH1471 shall call you blessedH833: for ye shall be a delightsomeH2656 landH776, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
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}
And now we callH833 the proudH2086 happyH833; yea, they that workH6213 wickednessH7564 are set upH1129; yea, they that temptH974 GodH430 are even deliveredH4422. {are set up: Heb. are built}
Then they that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 spake oftenH1696 oneH376 to anotherH7453: and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH7181, and heardH8085 it, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 him for them that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and that thoughtH2803 upon his nameH8034.
And they shall be mine, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in that dayH3117 when I make upH6213 my jewelsH5459; and I will spareH2550 them, as a manH376 sparethH2550 his own sonH1121 that servethH5647 him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
Then shall ye returnH7725, and discernH7200 between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that servethH5647 GodH430 and him that servethH5647 him not.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 thereof: when the eyesH5869 of manH120, as of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall be toward the LORDH3068.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 for IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which stretchethH5186 forth the heavensH8064, and layeth the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and formethH3335 the spiritH7307 of manH120 withinH7130 him.
