Malachi. Chap. 1 PREVIOUS---GREEK---NEXT 01 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by
Malachi.
02 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein
hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith
the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
03 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his
heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
04 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.
05 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD
will be magnified from the border of Israel.
06 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?
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.

Malachi. Chap. 2

PREVIOUS---GREEK---NEXT 01 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
02 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.
03 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.
04 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment
unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the
LORD of hosts.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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?
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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?

Malachi. Chap. 3

PREVIOUS---GREEK---NEXT 01 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.
02 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:
03 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.
04 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be
pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in
former years.
05 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.
06 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of
Jacob are not consumed.
07 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?
08 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
09 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me,
even this whole nation.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be
a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD.
Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 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?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work
wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even
delivered.
16 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.
17 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.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous
and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that
serveth him not.

Malachi. Chap. 4

PREVIOUS---GREEK---NEXT 01 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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I
commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the
statutes and judgments.
05 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
06 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. NEXT
