Malachi 1:6-13

6A sonH1121 honoureth his fatherH1, and a servantH5650 his masterH113: ifH518 then I be a fatherH1, whereH346 is mine honour? and ifH518 I be a masterH113, whereH346 is my fearH4172? saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto youH518, O priestsH3548, that despiseH959 my nameH8034. And ye sayH559, Wherein have weH518 despisedH959 thy nameH8034?

7Ye offer polluted breadH3899 uponH5921 mine altarH4196. And ye sayH559, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye sayH559, The tableH7979 of the LORDH3068 is contemptible.

8And when ye offerH7126 the blindH5787 for sacrificeH2076, it is noH369 evilH7451! and when ye offerH7126 the lameH6455 and sickH2470, it is noH369 evilH7451! PresentH7126 it nowH4994 unto thy governorH6346; will he be pleasedH7521 with thee? or will he acceptH7521 thy personH7126? saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

9And nowH6258, I prayH4994 youH6440, entreatH2470 the favour of GodH410, that he may be gracious unto usH4994: this hath been by your meansH3027: will he accept anyH4480 of your persons? saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

10OhH4310 that there were one among youH3808 that would shutH5462 the doorsH1817, that ye might notH3808 kindleH215 fireH215 on mine altarH4196 in vainH2600! I have noH3808 pleasureH2656 in youH3808, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, neitherH3808 will I acceptH7521 an offering at your handH3027.

11For from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 evenH5704 unto the going downH3588 of the sameH8034 my nameH8034 is greatH1419 among the GentilesH1471; and in everyH3605 placeH4725 incenseH6999 is offeredH6999 unto my nameH8034, and a pureH2889 offering: for my nameH8034 is greatH1419 among the GentilesH1471, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

12But ye profaneH2490 it, in that ye sayH559, The tableH7979 of the LORDH136 is polluted, and the fruit thereof, evenH853 his meat, is contemptible.

13Ye sayH559 also, BeholdH2009, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and ye have broughtH935 that whichH6635 was takenH1497 by violence, and the lameH6455, and the sickH2470; thus ye bringH935 the offering: should I acceptH7521 this of your handH3027? saith the LORDH3068.
