Opening of Malachi
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by the hand of his messenger. Lay it , I pray you, to heart.
2 I have loved you, saith the Lord. And ye said, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
3 and hated Esau, and laid waste his borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?
4 Because one will say, Idumea has been overthrown, but let us return and rebuild the desolate places; thus saith the Lord Almighty, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be called The borders of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord has set himself for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord has been magnified upon the borders of Israel.
6 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?
