1	The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. [by...: Heb. by the hand of]
			2	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,
			3	And I hated# Esau, and laid# his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
			4	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.
			5	And your eyes shall see# , and ye shall say# , The LORD will be magnified# from the border of Israel. [from: or, upon: Heb. from upon]
			6	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?
			7	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# . [offer...: or, bring unto, etc]

			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.
