THE burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024057">2</a>. I have loved you, saith the LORD.  Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us?  Was not Esau Jacob's brother?  saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024058">3</a>. And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024059">4</a>. Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024060">5</a>. And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024061">6</a>. A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?  and if I be a master, where is my fear?  saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name.  And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024062">7</a>. Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee?  In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024063">8</a>. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?  and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?  offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person?  saith the LORD of hosts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024064">9</a>. And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons?  saith the LORD of hosts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024065">10</a>. Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought?  neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought.  I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024066">11</a>. For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024067">12</a>. But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024068">13</a>. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it!  and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand?  saith the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1024069">14</a>. But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.</li>
