And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name 7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy goverfor: will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the peopic, according as ye have not kept my ways, bui have been partial in the law. 10 Have we not all one father? hath not 9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your per-one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by sons? saith the LORD of hosts. profaning the covenant of our fathers? 11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offer eth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. 13 ¶ And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good-will at your hand. 10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun, even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. 12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 14 Yet ye say, Wherefore?

III. 13¶ Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD: yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: BEHOLD, I will send my messenger, and and what profit is it that we have kept his he prepare the way ordinance, that we have mourn me: and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered." 16¶ Then they that feared the LORD spake 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appear-often one to another; and the LORD heareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like kened, and heard it and a book of rememfuller's soap: brance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked; be serveth him not. 4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 5 And I will come near to you to judg-tween him that serveth God, and him that ment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. CHAP. IV. OR behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 T But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? 8 Will a man rob God? yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the store-judgments. house, that there may be meat in mine house, 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the proand prove me now herewith, saith the LORD phet before the coming of the great and of hosts, if I will not open you the windows dreadful day of the LORD: of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathere shall not be room enough to receive it. thers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of End of the Old Testament. ¶ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and 4th day, 5th day 4 7 6 10 80 145 50 S000 Lb.
