Yahweh.º
Yet ye say,ºº

Theyº
shall build,ºº
but Iº
will throw down;ºº

of wickedness,º
and, The peopleº

forº
ever.ºº |

A son honours [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honour? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord Almighty. Ye the priests are they that despise my name: yet ye said, Wherein have we despised thy name? |

honourethºº
[his] father,º
and a servantº
his adon:º
ifº
then Iº
[be] a father,º
whereº
[is] mine honour?º
and ifº
Iº
[be] a adon,º
whereº
[is] my fear?º
saithºº
Yahwehº

unto you, O priests,º
that despiseºº
my name.º

thy name?º |

pollutedºº
breadº
uponº
mine altar;º

thee? In that ye say,ºº

[is] contemptible.ºº |
|
1:8
For if ye bring a blind [victim] for sacrifices, [is it] not evil? and if ye bring the lame or the sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to thy ruler, [and see] if he will receive thee, if he will accept thy person, saith the Lord Almighty. |
1:8
And ifº
ye offerºº
the blindº
for sacrifice,ºº
[is it] notº
evil?º

ye offerºº
the lameº

[is it] notº
evil?º
offerºº
it nowº
unto thy governor;º
will he be pleasedºº
with thee, orº
acceptºº
thy person?º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth.º |
|

I pray you,º
beseechººº
Elº
that he will be graciousºº
unto us: thisº
hath beenº
by your means:ºº
will he regardºº
yourº
persons?º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth.º |
|
1:10
Because even among you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands. |
1:10
Whoº
[is there] evenº
among you that would shutºº
the doorsº
[for nought]? neitherº
do ye kindleºº
[fire] on mine altarº
for nought.º
I have noº
pleasureº
in you, saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
neitherº
will I acceptºº
an offeringº
at your hand.ºº |
|

Forº
from the risingºº
of the sunº
even untoº
the going downº
of the same my nameº
[shall be] greatº
among the Gentiles;º
and in everyº
placeº
incenseºº
[shall be] offeredºº
unto my name,º
and a pureº
offering:º
forº
my nameº
[shall be] greatº
among the heathen,º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth.º |

1:13
And ye said, These [services] are troublesome: therefore I have utterly rejected them with scorn, saith the Lord Almighty: and ye brought in torn victims, and lame, and sick: if then ye should bring an offering, shall I accept them at your hands? saith the Lord Almighty. |
1:13
Ye saidºº
also, Behold,º
what a wearinessºº
[is it]! and ye have snuffedºº
atº
it, saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth;º
and ye broughtºº
[that which was] torn,ºº
and the lame,º
and the sick;ºº
thus ye broughtººº
an offering:º
should I acceptºº
this of your hand?ºº
saithºº
Yahweh.º |
|
1:14
And cursed [is the man] who had the power, and possessed a male in his flock, and whose vow is upon him, and who sacrifices a corrupt thing to the Lord: for I am a great King, saith the Lord Almighty, and my name is glorious among the nations. |

But cursedºº
[be] the deceiver,ºº
whichº
hathº
in his flockº
a male,º
and voweth,ºº
and sacrificethºº
unto Yahwehº
a corrupt thing:ºº
forº
Iº
[am] a greatº
King,º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
and my nameº
[is] dreadfulºº
among the heathen.º |
