+
+THE PROPHECY OF MALACHIAS
+
+MALACHIAS, whose name signifies The Angel of the Lord, was contemporary
+with NEHEMIAS, and by some is believed to have been the same person as
+ESDRAS. He was the last of the prophets, in the order of time, and
+flourished about four hundred years before Christ. He foretells the
+coming of Christ; the reprobation of the Jews and their sacrifices; and
+the calling of the Gentiles, who shall offer up to God in every place an
+acceptable sacrifice.
+
+
+Malachias Chapter 1
+
+God reproaches the Jews with their ingratitude: and the priests for not
+offering pure sacrifices. He will accept of the sacrifice that shall be
+offered in every place among the Gentiles.
+
+1:1. The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of
+Malachias.
+
+1:2. I have loved you, saith the Lord: and you have said: Wherein hast
+thou loved us? Was not Esau brother to Jacob, saith the Lord, and I have
+loved Jacob,
+
+I have loved Jacob, etc... I have preferred his posterity, to make them
+my chosen people, and to lead them with my blessings, without any merit
+on their part, and though they have been always ungrateful; whilst I
+have rejected Esau, and executed severe judgments upon his posterity.
+Not that God punished Esau, or his posterity, beyond their desert: but
+that by his free election and grace he loved Jacob, and favoured his
+posterity above their deserts. See the annotations upon Rom. 9.
+
+1:3. But have hated Esau? and I have made his mountains a wilderness,
+and given his inheritance to the dragons of the desert.
+
+1:4. But if Edom shall say: We are destroyed, but we will return and
+build up what hath been destroyed: thus saith the Lord of hosts: They
+shall build up, and I will throw down: and they shall be called the
+borders of wickedness, and the people with whom the Lord is angry for
+ever.
+
+1:5. And your eyes shall see: and you shall say: The Lord be magnified
+upon the border of Israel.
+
+1:6. The son honoureth the father, and the servant his master: if then I
+be a father, where is my honour?  and if I be a master, where is my
+fear: saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+1:7. To you, O priests, that despise my name, and have said: Wherein
+have we despised thy name? You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and
+you say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table of
+the Lord is contemptible.
+
+1:8. If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if you
+offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? offer it to thy prince, if
+he will be pleased with it, or if he will regard thy face, saith the
+Lord of hosts.
+
+1:9. And now beseech ye the face of God, that he may have mercy on you,
+(for by your hand hath this been done,) if by any means he will receive
+your faces, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+1:10. Who is there among you, that will shut the doors, and will kindle
+the fire on my altar gratis? I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord
+of hosts: and I will not receive a gift of your hand.
+
+1:11. For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is
+great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and
+there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among
+the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+A clean oblation... Viz., the precious body and blood of Christ in the
+eucharistic sacrifice.
+
+1:12. And you have profaned it in that you say: The table of the Lord is
+defiled: and that which is laid thereupon is contemptible with the fire
+that devoureth it.
+
+1:13. And you have said: Behold of our labour, and you puffed it away,
+saith the Lord of hosts, and you brought in of rapine the lame, and the
+sick, and brought in an offering: shall I accept it at your hands, saith
+the Lord?
+
+Behold of our labour, etc... You pretended labour and weariness, when
+you brought your offering; and so made it of no value, by offering it
+with an evil mind. Moreover, what you offered was both defective in
+itself, and gotten by rapine and extortion.
+
+1:14. Cursed is the deceitful man that hath in his flock a male, and
+making a vow offereth in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord: for
+I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful
+among the Gentiles.
+
+Malachias Chapter 2
+
+The priests are sharply reproved for neglecting their covenant. The evil
+of marrying with idolaters: and too easily putting away their wives.
+
+2:1. And now, O ye priests, this commandment is to you.
+
+2:2. If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give
+glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you,
+and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have
+not laid it to heart.
+
+2:3. Behold, I will cast the shoulder to you, and will scatter upon your
+face the dung of your solemnities, and it shall take you away with it.
+
+I will cast the shoulder to you... I will cast away the shoulder, which
+in the law was appointed to be your portion, and fling it at you in my
+anger: and will reject both you and your festivals like dung.
+
+2:4. And you shall know that I sent you this commandment, that my
+covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+2:5. My covenant was with him of life and peace: and I gave him fear:
+and he feared me, and he was afraid before my name.
+
+2:6. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in
+his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many
+away from iniquity.
+
+2:7. For the lips of the priests shall keep knowledge, and they shall
+seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.
+
+The angel... Viz., the minister and messenger.
+
+2:8. But you have departed out of the way, and have caused many to
+stumble at the law: you have made void the covenant of Levi, saith the
+Lord of hosts.
+
+2:9. Therefore have I also made you contemptible, and base before all
+people, as you have not kept my ways, and have accepted persons in the
+law.
+
+2:10. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then
+doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our
+fathers?
+
+2:11. Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in
+Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the
+Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
+
+2:12. The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the
+master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that
+offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts.
+
+2:13. And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the
+Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a
+regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands.
+
+With tears... Viz., by occasion of your wives, whom you have put away:
+and who came to weep and lament before the altar.
+
+2:14. And you have said: For what cause? Because the Lord hath been
+witness between thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast
+despised: yet she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant.
+
+2:15. Did not one make her, and she is the residue of his spirit? And
+what doth one seek, but the seed of God? Keep then your spirit, and
+despise not the wife of thy youth.
+
+2:16. When thon shalt hate her put her away, saith the Lord, the God of
+lsrael: but iniquity shalt cover his garment, saith the Lord of hosts,
+keep your spirit, and despise not.
+
+Iniquity shall cover his garment... Viz., of every man that putteth away
+his wife without just cause; notwithstanding that God permitted it in
+the law, to prevent the evil of murder.
+
+2:17. You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein
+have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good
+in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the
+God of judgment?
+
+Malachias Chapter 3
+
+Christ shall come to his temple, and purify the priesthood. They that
+continue in their evil ways shall be punished: but true penitents shall
+receive a blessing.
+
+3:1. Behold I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my
+face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the
+testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold, he cometh,
+saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+My angel... Viz., John the Baptist, the messenger of God, and forerunner
+of Christ.
+
+3:2. And who shall be able to think of the day of his coming? and who
+shall stand to see him? for he is like a refining fire, and like the
+fuller's herb:
+
+3:3. And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall
+purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver,
+and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice.
+
+3:4. And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord,
+as in the days of old, and in the ancient years.
+
+3:5. And I will come to you in judgment, and will be a speedy witness
+against sorcerers, and adulterers, and false swearers, and them that
+oppress the hireling in his wages, the widows, and the fatherless: and
+oppress the stranger, and have not feared me, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+3:6. For I am the Lord, and I change not: and you the sons of Jacob are
+not consumed.
+
+3:7. For from the days of your fathers you have departed from my
+ordinances, and have not kept them: Return to me, and I will return to
+you, saith the Lord of hosts. And you have said: Wherein shall we
+return?
+
+3:8. Shall a man afflict God, for you afflict me. And you have said:
+Wherein do we afflict thee? in tithes and in firstfruits.
+
+3:9. And you are cursed with want, and you afflict me, even the whole
+nation of you.
+
+3:10. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat
+in my house, and try me in this, saith the Lord: if I open not unto you
+the flood-gates of heaven, and pour you out a blessing even to
+abundance.
+
+3:11. And I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer, and he shall not
+spoil the fruit of your land: neither shall the vine in the field be
+barren, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+3:12. And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a
+delightful land, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+3:13. Your words have been unsufferable to me, saith the Lord.
+
+3:14. And you have said: What have we spoken against thee? You have
+said: He laboureth in vain that serveth God, and what profit is it that
+we have kept his ordinances, and that we have walked sorrowful before
+the Lord of hosts?
+
+3:15. Wherefore now we call the proud people happy, for they that work
+wickedness are built up, and they have tempted God and are preserved.
+
+3:16. Then they that feared the Lord, spoke every one with his
+neighbour: and the Lord gave ear, and heard it: and a book of
+remembrance was written before him for them that fear the Lord, and
+think on his name.
+
+3:17. And they shall be my special possession, saith the Lord of hosts,
+in the day that I do judgment: and I will spare them, as a man spareth
+his son that serveth him.
+
+3:18. And you shall return, and shall see the difference between the
+just and the wicked: and between him that serveth God, and him that
+serveth him not.
+
+Malachias Chapter 4
+
+The judgment of the wicked, and reward of the just. An exhortation to
+observe the law. Elias shall come for the conversion of the Jews.
+
+4:1. For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the
+proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that
+cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not
+leave them root, nor branch.
+
+4:2. But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and
+health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves
+of the herd.
+
+4:3. And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under
+the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of
+hosts.  4:4. Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him
+in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.
+
+4:5. Behold, I will send you Elias the prophet, before the coming of the
+great and dreadful day of the Lord.
+
+4:6. 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 strike the
+earth with anathema.
+
+He shall turn the heart, etc... By bringing over the Jews to the faith
+of Christ, he shall reconcile them to their fathers, viz., the
+partiarchs and prophets; whose hearts for many ages have been turned
+away from them, because of their refusing to believe in Christ.-Ibid.
+With anathema... In the Hebrew, Cherem, that is, with utter destruction.

+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.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project

+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
