Yet ye say, Wherein hast + thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: + yet I loved Jacob, + +39:001:003 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage + waste for the dragons of the wilderness. + +39:001:004 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. + +39:001:005 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be + magnified from the border of Israel. + +39:001:006 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? + +39:001:007 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. + +39:001:008 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. + +39:001:009 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. + +39:001:010 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. + +39:001:011 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. + +39:001:012 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. + +39:001:013 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. + +39:001:014 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. + +39:002:001 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. + +39:002:002 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to + give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even + send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I + have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. + +39:002:003 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your + faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take + you away with it. + +39:002:004 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, + that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. + +39:002:005 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to + him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before + my name. + +39:002:006 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found + in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did + turn many away from iniquity. + +39:002:007 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should + seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD + of hosts. + +39:002:008 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to + stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, + saith the LORD of hosts. + +39:002:009 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before + all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but + have been partial in the law. + +39:002:010 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why + do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by + profaning the covenant of our fathers? + +39:002:011 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is + committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned + the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the + daughter of a strange god. + +39:002:012 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and + the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that + offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. + +39:002:013 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD + with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that + he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with + good will at your hand. + +39:002:014 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness + between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast + dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of + thy covenant. + +39:002:015 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. + And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore + take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously + against the wife of his youth. + +39:002:016 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting + away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the + LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye + deal not treacherously. + +39:002:017 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein + have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is + good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, + Where is the God of judgment? + +39:003:001 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way + before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to + his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye + delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. + +39:003:002 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand + when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like + fullers' soap: + +39:003:003 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he + shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and + silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in + righteousness. + +39:003:004 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant + unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. + +39:003:005 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift + witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and + against false swearers, and against those that oppress the + hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that + turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith + the LORD of hosts. + +39:003:006 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob + are not consumed. + +39:003:007 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine + ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will + return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein + shall we return? + +39:003:008 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein + have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. + +39:003:009 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this + whole nation. + +39:003:010 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be + meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD + of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and + pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough + to receive it. + +39:003:011 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall + not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine + cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of + hosts. + +39:003:012 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a + delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. + +39:003:013 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye + say, What have we spoken so much against thee? + +39:003:014 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it + that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked + mournfully before the LORD of hosts? + +39:003:015 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work + wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even + delivered. + +39:003:016 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and + the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance + was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that + thought upon his name. + +39:003:017 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day + when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man + spareth his own son that serveth him. + +39:003:018 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and + the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth + him not. + +39:004:001 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and + all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be + stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the + LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor + branch. + +39:004:002 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness + arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and + grow up as calves of the stall. + +39:004:003 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes + under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, + saith the LORD of hosts. + +39:004:004 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded + unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and + judgments. + +39:004:005 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming + of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: + +39:004:006 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, + and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come + and smite the earth with a curse. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 39 *** + +********** This file should be named 8039.txt or 8039.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
