Yet you say, + "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" + says Yahweh, "Yet I loved Jacob; +001:003 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, + and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness." +001:004 Whereas Edom says, "We are beaten down, but we will return and build + the waste places;" thus says Yahweh of Armies, "They shall build, + but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' + even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever." +001:005 Your eyes will see, and you will say, "Yahweh is great-- + even beyond the border of Israel!" +001:006 "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. + If I am a father, then where is my honor? + And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? + Says Yahweh of Armies to you, priests, who despise my name. + You say, 'How have we despised your name?' +001:007 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, 'How have we + polluted you?' In that you say, 'Yahweh's table contemptible.' +001:008 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn't that evil? + And when you offer the lame and sick, isn't that evil? + Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? + Or will he accept your person?" says Yahweh of Armies. +001:009 "Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. + With this, will he accept any of you?" says Yahweh of Armies. +001:010 "Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, + that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! + I have no pleasure in you," says Yahweh of Armies, + "neither will I accept an offering at your hand. +001:011 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same, + my name is great among the nations, and in every place + incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering: + for my name is great among the nations," says Yahweh of Armies. +001:012 "But you profane it, in that you say, 'Yahweh's table is polluted, + and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.' +001:013 You say also, 'Behold, what a weariness it is!' + and you have sniffed at it," says Yahweh of Armies; + "and you have brought that which was taken by violence, + the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. + Should I accept this at your hand?" says Yahweh. +001:014 "But the deceiver is cursed, who has in his flock a male, + and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished thing; + for I am a great King," says Yahweh of Armies, "and my name + is awesome among the nations." +002:001 "Now, you priests, this commandment is for you. +002:002 If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, + to give glory to my name," says Yahweh of Armies, "then will + I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. + Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay + it to heart. +002:003 Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung on + your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you will be taken + away with it. +002:004 You will know that I have sent this commandment to you, + that my covenant may be with Levi," says Yahweh of Armies. +002:005 "My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them + to him who he might be reverent toward me; and he was reverent + toward me, and stood in awe of my name. +002:006 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not + found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, + and turned many away from iniquity. +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 Yahweh of Armies. +002:008 But you have turned aside out of the way. You have caused many + to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi," + says Yahweh of Armies. +002:009 "Therefore I have also made you contemptible and base before all + the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, + but have had respect for persons in the law. +002:010 Don't we all have one father? Hasn't one God created us? + Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, + profaning the covenant of our fathers? +002:011 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed + in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness + of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter + of a foreign god. +002:012 Yahweh will cut off, to the man who does this, him who wakes + and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him + who offers an offering to Yahweh of Armies. +002:013 This again you do: you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, + with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn't regard + the offering any more, neither receives it with good will + at your hand. +002:014 Yet you say, 'Why?' Because Yahweh has been witness + between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you + have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, + and the wife of your covenant. +002:015 Did he not make one, although he had the residue + of the Spirit? Why one? He sought a godly seed. + Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal + treacherously against the wife of his youth. +002:016 For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, + "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says Yahweh + of Armies. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you + don't deal treacherously. +002:017 You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, + 'How have we wearied him?' In that you say, 'Everyone who does + evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and he delights in them;' + or 'Where is the God of justice?' +003:001 "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; + and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; + and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, + he comes!" says Yahweh of Armies. +003:002 "But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will + stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, + and like launderer's soap; +003:003 and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will + purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; + and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness. +003:004 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant + to Yahweh, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years. +003:005 I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift + witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, + and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress + the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, + and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," + says Yahweh of Armies. +003:006 "For I, Yahweh, don't change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, + are not consumed. +003:007 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from + my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, + and I will return to you," says Yahweh of Armies. + "But you say, 'How shall we return?' +003:008 Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, 'How have we + robbed you?' In tithes and offerings. +003:009 You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, + even this whole nation. +003:010 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food + in my house, and test me now in this," says Yahweh of Armies, + "if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you + out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for. +003:011 I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall + not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall + your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field," + says Yahweh of Armies. +003:012 "All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a + delightful land," says Yahweh of Armies. +003:013 "Your words have been stout against me," says Yahweh. + "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against you?' +003:014 You have said, 'It is vain to serve God;' and 'What profit + is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked + mournfully before Yahweh of Armies? +003:015 Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness + are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.' +003:016 Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; + and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory + was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, + and who honored his name. +003:017 They shall be mine," says Yahweh of Armies, "my own possession + in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares + his own son who serves him. +003:018 Then you shall return and discern between the righteous + and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who + doesn't serve him. +004:001 "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all + the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; + and the day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Armies, + "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. +004:002 But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness + arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap + like calves of the stall. +004:003 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes + under the soles of your feet in the day that I make," + says Yahweh of Armies. +004:004 "Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him + in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. +004:005 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great + and terrible day of Yahweh comes. +004:006 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, + and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come + and strike the earth with a curse." + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): MALACHI *** + +This file should be named 8266.txt or 8266.zip + +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.
