Yet ye say0559, Wherein hast thou loved0157 us? {Was} not Esau6215 Jacob's3290 brother0251? saith0559 the LORD3068: yet I loved0157 Jacob3290, 1:3 And I hated8130 Esau6215, and laid7760 his mountains2022 and his heritage5159 waste8077 for the dragons8568 of the wilderness4057. 1:4 Whereas Edom0123 saith0559, We are impoverished7567, but we will return7725 and build1129 the desolate places2723; thus saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, They shall build1129, but I will throw down2040; and they shall call7121 them, The border1366 of wickedness7564, and, The people5971 against whom the LORD3068 hath indignation2194 for5704 ever5769. 1:5 And your eyes5869 shall see7200, and ye shall say0559, The LORD3068 will be magnified1431 from the border1366 of Israel3478. 1:6 A son1121 honoureth3513 {his} father0001, and a servant5650 his master0113: if then I {be} a father0001, where {is} mine honour3519? and if I {be} a master0113, where {is} my fear4172? saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 unto you, O priests3548, that despise0959 my name8034. And ye say0559, Wherein have we despised0959 thy name8034? 1:7 Ye offer5066 polluted1351 bread3899 upon mine altar4196; and ye say0559, Wherein have we polluted1351 thee? In that ye say0559, The table7979 of the LORD3068 {is} contemptible0959. 1:8 And if ye offer5066 the blind5787 for sacrifice2076, {is it} not evil7451? and if ye offer5066 the lame6455 and sick2470, {is it} not evil7451? offer7126 it now unto thy governor6346; will he be pleased7521 with thee, or accept5375 thy person6440? saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. 1:9 And now, I pray you, beseech2470-6440 God0410 that he will be gracious2603 unto us: this hath been by your means3027: will he regard5375 your persons6440? saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. 1:10 Who {is there} even among you that would shut5462 the doors1817 {for nought}? neither do ye kindle0215 {fire} on mine altar4196 for nought2600. I have no pleasure2656 in you, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, neither will I accept7521 an offering4503 at your hand3027. 1:11 For from the rising4217 of the sun8121 even unto the going down3996 of the same my name8034 {shall be} great1419 among the Gentiles1471; and in every place4725 incense6999 {shall be} offered5066 unto my name8034, and a pure2889 offering4503: for my name8034 {shall be} great1419 among the heathen1471, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. 1:12 But ye have profaned2490 it, in that ye say0559, The table7979 of the LORD3068 {is} polluted1351; and the fruit5108 thereof, {even} his meat0400, {is} contemptible0959. 1:13 Ye said0559 also, Behold, what a weariness4972 {is it}! and ye have snuffed5301 at it, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635; and ye brought0935 {that which was} torn1497, and the lame6455, and the sick2470; thus ye brought0935 an offering4503: should I accept7521 this of your hand3027? saith0559 the LORD3068. 1:14 But cursed0779 {be} the deceiver5230, which3426 hath in his flock5739 a male2145, and voweth5087, and sacrificeth2076 unto the Lord0136 a corrupt thing7843: for I {am} a great1419 King4428, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, and my name8034 {is} dreadful3372 among the heathen1471.
