Malachi 1:11–2:3

11  For cfrom the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same

dMy name shall be great eamong the Gentiles;

And fin every place gincense shall be hoffered unto my name, and ia pure koffering:

For dmy name shall be great eamong the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.

12  But ye have profaned it, in that ye say,

lThe table of the Lord is polluted;

And the fruit thereof, even his meat, lis contemptible.

13  Ye said also, Behold, mwhat a weariness is it!

||And nye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts;

And ye brought that which was otorn, and pthe lame, and pthe sick;

Thus ye brought an offering:

qShould I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.

14  But cursed be the deceiver, †which hath in his flock ra male,

And voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord sa corrupt thing:

For I am ta great King, saith the Lord of hosts,

And my name is tdreadful among the heathen.

2 And now, aO ye priests, this commandment is for you.

2  bIf ye will not hear, and if ye will not clay it to heart,

To give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts,

dI will even send dea curse upon you, and I will curse fyour blessings:

Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not clay it to heart.

3  Behold, gI will ||corrupt your seed,

And h†spread dung upon your faces, even ithe dung of your ksolemn feasts;

And ||ilone shall take you away with it.
