CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H4853 The burden H1697 of the word H3068 of the Lord H3478 to Israel H3027 by H4401 Malachi.

2 H157 I have loved H5002 you, says H3068 the Lord. H559 Yet you say, H157 Where have you loved H6215 us? Was not Esau H3290 Jacob's H251 brother? H559 says H3068 the Lord: H157 yet I loved H3290 Jacob,

3 H8130 And I hated H6215 Esau, H7760 and laid H2022 his mountains H5159 and his heritage H8077 waste H8568 for the dragons H4057 of the wilderness.

4 H123 Whereas Edom H559 says, H7567 We are impoverished, H7725 but we will return H1129 and build H2723 the desolate places; H559 thus says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H1129 They shall build, H2040 but I will throw down; H7121 and they shall call H1366 them, The border H7564 of wickedness, H5971 and, The people H3068 against whom the Lord H2194 has indignation H5704 for H5769 ever.

5 H5869 And your eyes H7200 shall see, H559 and you shall say, H3068 The Lord H1431 will be magnified H1366 from the border H3478 of Israel.

6 H1121 A son H3513 honors H1 his father, H5650 and a servant H113 his master: H1 if then I be a father, H3519 where is my honor? H113 and if I be a master, H4172 where is my fear? H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts H3548 unto you, O priests, H959 that despise H8034 my name. H559 And you say, H959 Where have we despised H8034 your name?

7 H5066 You offer H1351 polluted H3899 bread H4196 upon my altar; H559 and you say, H1351 Where have we polluted H559 you? In that you say, H7979 The table H3068 of the Lord H959 is contemptible.

8 H5066 And if you offer H5787 the blind H2076 for sacrifice, H7451 is it not evil? H5066 and if you offer H6455 the lame H2470 and sick, H7451 is it not evil? H7126 offer H6346 it now unto your governor; H7521 will he be pleased H5375 with you, or accept H6440 your person? H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

9 H2470 And now, I pray you, beg H410 God H2603 that he will be gracious H3027 unto us: this has been by your means: H5375 will he regard H6440 your persons? H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

10 H5462 Who is there even among you that would shut H1817 the doors H215 for nothing? neither do you kindle H4196 fire on my altar H2600 for nothing. H2656 I have no pleasure H559 in you, says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H7521 neither will I accept H4503 a offering H3027 at your hand.

11 H4217 For from the rising H8121 of the sun H3996 even unto the going down H8034 of the same my name H1419 shall be great H1471 among the Nations; H4725 and in every place H6999 incense H5066 shall be offered H8034 unto my name, H2889 and a pure H4503 offering: H8034 for my name H1419 shall be great H1471 among the heathen, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

12 H2490 But you have profaned H559 it, in that you say, H7979 The table H3068 of the Lord H1351 is polluted; H5108 and the fruit H400 there, even his food, H959 is contemptible.

13 H559 You said H4972 also, Behold, what a weariness H5301 is it! and you have snuffed H559 at it, says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts; H935 and you brought H1497 that which was torn, H6455 and the lame, H2470 and the sick; H935 thus you brought H4503 a offering: H7521 should I accept H3027 this of your hand? H559 says H3068 the Lord.

14 H779 But cursed H5230 be the deceiver, H3426 which H5739 has in his flock H2145 a male, H5087 and vows, H2076 and sacrifices H136 unto the Lord H7843 a corrupt thing: H1419 for I am a great H4428 King, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H8034 and my name H3372 is dreadful H1471 among the heathen.
