The oracle
of the word
of the LORD
to Israel
through
Malachi.
2
"I have loved
you," says
the LORD.
But you say,
"How
have You loved
us?" "Was not Esau
Jacob's
brother?"
declares
the LORD.
"Yet I have loved
Jacob;
3
but I have hated
Esau,
and I have made
his mountains
a desolation
and appointed his inheritance
for the jackals
of the wilderness."
4
Though
Edom
says
,
"We have been beaten down,
but we will return
and build
up the ruins";
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"They may build,
but I will tear down;
and men will call
them the wicked
territory,
and the people
toward whom
the LORD
is indignant
forever."
5
Your eyes
will see
this and you will say,
"The LORD
be magnified
beyond
the border
of Israel!"
6
"'A son
honors
his father,
and a servant
his master.
Then if
I am a father,
where
is My honor?
And if
I am a master,
where
is My respect?'
says
the LORD
of hosts
to you, O priests
who despise
My name.
But you say,
'How
have we despised
Your name?'
7
"You are presenting
defiled
food
upon My altar.
But you say,
'How
have we
defiled
You?' In that you say,
'
The table
of the LORD
is to be despised.'
8
"But when
you present
the blind
for sacrifice,
is it not evil?
And when
you present
the lame
and sick,
is it not evil?
Why not offer
it to your governor?
Would he be pleased
with you? Or
would he receive
you kindly?"
says
the LORD
of hosts.
9
"But now
will you not entreat
God's
favor,
that He may be gracious
to us? With such
an offering on your part,
will He receive
any
of you kindly?"
says
the LORD
of hosts.
10
"Oh
that there were one among you who would shut
the gates,
that you might not uselessly
kindle
fire on My altar!
I am not pleased
with you," says
the LORD
of hosts,
"nor
will I accept
an offering
from you.
11
"For from the rising
of the sun
even
to its setting,
My name
will be great
among the nations,
and in every
place
incense
is going to be offered
to
My name
,
and a grain offering
that is pure;
for
My name
will be great
among the nations,
"
says
the LORD
of hosts.
12
"But you are profaning
it, in that you say,
'The table
of the Lord
is defiled,
and as for its fruit,
its food
is to be despised.'
13
"You also say,
'
My, how
tiresome
it is!' And you disdainfully sniff
at it,"
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"and you bring
what was taken by robbery
and what is lame
or sick;
so you bring
the offering!
Should I receive
that from your hand?"
says
the LORD
.
14
"But cursed
be the swindler
who has
a male
in his flock
and vows
it, but sacrifices
a blemished animal
to the Lord,
for I am a great
King,"
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"and My name
is feared
among the nations."
