1:1 The
burden
of
the
word
of
ye
Lord
to
Israel
by
Malachi.
1:2 I
haue
loued
you,
sayth
the
Lord:
yet
yee
say,
Wherein
hast
thou
loued
vs
was
not
Esau
Iacobs
brother,
sayth
the
Lord
yet
I
loued
Iacob,
1:3 And
I
hated
Esau,
and
layde
his
mountaines,
and
his
heritage
waste,
for
the
dragons
of
the
wildernesse.
1:4 Whereas
Edom
sayth,
Wee
are
impouerished,
but
we
will
returne
and
build
the
desolate
places;
Thus
sayth
the
Lord
of
hostes,
They
shal
build,
but
I
will
throw
downe;
and
they
shal
call
them,
The
border
of
wickednesse,
&
the
people
against
whom
the
Lord
hath
indignation
for
euer.
1:5 And
your
eyes
shall
see,
and
yee
shall
say;
The
Lord
will
be
magnified
from
the
border
of
Israel.
1:6 A
sonne
honoureth
his
father,
and
a
seruant
his
Master.
If
then
I
be
a
father,
where
is
mine
honour
and
if
I
be
a
Master,
where
is
my
feare,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes,
vnto
you
O
priests,
that
despise
my
name
and
yee
say,
Wherein
haue
we
despised
thy
name
1:7 Yee
offer
polluted
bread
vpon
mine
altar;
and
yee
say,
Wherein
haue
we
polluted
thee
In
that
yee
say,
The
table
of
the
Lord
is
contemptible.
1:8 And
if
hee
offer
the
blind
for
sacrifice,
is
it
not
euill
and
if
yee
offer
the
lame
and
sicke,
is
it
not
euill
offer
it
now
vnto
thy
gouernour:
will
he
be
pleased
with
thee,
or
accept
thy
person,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes
1:9 And
now
I
pray
you,
beseech
God,
that
hee
will
be
gracious
vnto
vs:
this
hath
beene
by
your
meanes:
will
he
regard
your
persons,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes
1:10 Who
is
there
euen
among
you
that
would
shut
the
doores
for
nought
neither
doe
yee
kindle
fire
on
mine
altar
for
nought.
I
haue
no
pleasure
in
you,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes,
neither
will
I
accept
an
offring
at
your
hand.
1:11 For
from
the
rising
of
the
Sunne,
euen
vnto
the
going
downe
of
the
same
my
name
shall
be
great
among
the
Gentiles,
and
in
euery
place
incense
shall
be
offered
vnto
my
name,
and
a
pure
offring:
for
my
name
shall
be
great
among
the
heathen,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes.
1:12 But
yee
haue
prophaned
it,
in
that
yee
say;
The
table
of
the
Lord
is
polluted,
and
the
fruite
thereof,
euen
his
meate,
is
contemptible.
1:13 Yee
said
also;
Behold
what
a
wearinesse
is
it,
and
yee
haue
snuffed
at
it,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes,
and
yee
brought
that
which
was
torne,
and
the
lame,
and
the
sicke:
thus
yee
brought
an
offring:
should
I
accept
this
of
your
hand,
saith
the
Lord
1:14 But
cursed
be
the
deceiuer,
which
hath
in
his
flocke
a
male,
and
voweth
and
sacrificeth
vnto
the
Lord
a
corrupt
thing:
for
I
am
a
great
King,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes,
and
my
name
is
dreadfull
among
the
heathen.
