1:2 I have loved 157 8804 you, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068. Yet ye say 559 8804, Wherein hast thou loved 157 8804 us? [Was] not Esau 6215 Jacob's 3290 brother 251? saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068: yet I loved 157 8799 Jacob 3290,

1:3 And I hated 8130 8804 Esau 6215, and laid 7760 8799 his mountains 2022 and his heritage 5159 waste 8077 for the dragons 8568 of the wilderness 4057.

1:4 Whereas Edom 123 saith 559 8799, We are impoverished 7567 8795, but we will return 7725 8799 and build 1129 8799 the desolate places 2723; thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, They shall build 1129 8799, but I will throw down 2040 8799; and they shall call 7121 8804 them, The border 1366 of wickedness 7564, and, The people 5971 against whom the LORD 3068 hath indignation 2194 8804 for 5704 ever 5769.

1:5 And your eyes 5869 shall see 7200 8799, and ye shall say 559 8799, The LORD 3068 will be magnified 1431 8799 from the border 1366 of Israel 3478.(from: or, upon: Heb. from upon)

1:6 A son 1121 honoureth 3513 8762 [his] father 1, and a servant 5650 his master 113: if then I [be] a father 1, where [is] mine honour 3519? and if I [be] a master 113, where [is] my fear 4172? saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 unto you, O priests 3548, that despise 959 8802 my name 8034. And ye say 559 8804, Wherein have we despised 959 8804 thy name 8034?

1:7 Ye offer 5066 8688 polluted 1351 8794 bread 3899 upon mine altar 4196; and ye say 559 8804, Wherein have we polluted 1351 8765 thee? In that ye say 559 8800, The table 7979 of the LORD 3068 [is] contemptible 959 8737.(offer…: or, bring unto, etc)

1:8 And if ye offer 5066 8686 the blind 5787 for sacrifice 2076 8800, [is it] not evil 7451? and if ye offer 5066 8686 the lame 6455 and sick 2470 8802, [is it] not evil 7451? offer 7126 8685 it now unto thy governor 6346; will he be pleased 7521 8799 with thee, or accept 5375 8799 thy person 6440? saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.(for: Heb. to)

1:9 And now, I pray you, beseech 2470 8761 6440 God 410 that he will be gracious 2603 8799 unto us: this hath been by your means 3027: will he regard 5375 8799 your persons 6440? saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.(God: Heb. the face of God)(by…: Heb. from your hand)

1:10 Who [is there] even among you that would shut 5462 8799 the doors 1817 [for nought]? neither do ye kindle 215 8686 [fire] on mine altar 4196 for nought 2600. I have no pleasure 2656 in you, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, neither will I accept 7521 8799 an offering 4503 at your hand 3027.

1:11 For from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121 even unto the going down 3996 of the same my name 8034 [shall be] great 1419 among the Gentiles 1471; and in every place 4725 incense 6999 8716 [shall be] offered 5066 8716 unto my name 8034, and a pure 2889 offering 4503: for my name 8034 [shall be] great 1419 among the heathen 1471, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

1:12 But ye have profaned 2490 8764 it, in that ye say 559 8800, The table 7979 of the LORD 3068 [is] polluted 1351 8794; and the fruit 5108 thereof, [even] his meat 400, [is] contemptible 959 8737.

1:13 Ye said 559 8804 also, Behold, what a weariness 4972 [is it]! and ye have snuffed 5301 8689 at it, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; and ye brought 935 8689 [that which was] torn 1497 8803, and the lame 6455, and the sick 2470 8802; thus ye brought 935 8689 an offering 4503: should I accept 7521 8799 this of your hand 3027? saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.(and ye have…: or, whereas ye might have blown it away)

1:14 But cursed 779 8803 [be] the deceiver 5230 8802, which 3426 hath in his flock 5739 a male 2145, and voweth 5087 8802, and sacrificeth 2076 8802 unto the Lord 136 a corrupt thing 7843 8716: for I [am] a great 1419 King 4428, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, and my name 8034 [is] dreadful 3372 8737 among the heathen 1471.(which…: Heb. in whose flock is)
