shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13
And it
shall come to pass in that day,
that
a great tumult from the L
ORD
shall be among them; and they
shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand
of his neighbour.
14
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round
about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15
And so shall
be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall
be in these tents, as this plague.
16
And it shall come to pass,
that
every one that is left of all the nations which came against
Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the L
ORD
of hosts, and to keep
the feast of tabernacles.
17
And it shall be,
that
whoso will not come up of
all
the families of the
earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the L
ORD
of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that
have
no
rain;
there shall be the plague,
wherewith the L
ORD
will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19
This
shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the
feast of tabernacles.
20
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE L
ORD
; and
the pots in the L
ORD
’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem
and in Judah shall be holiness unto the L
ORD
of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and
take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house
of the L
ORD
of hosts.
Malachi
CHAPTER 1
The burden of the word of the L
ORD
to Israel by Malachi.
2
I have loved you, saith the L
ORD
. Yet
ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us?
Was
not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the L
ORD
: yet I loved
Jacob,
3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the
wilderness.
4
Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate
places; thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call
them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the L
ORD
hath indignation for ever.
5
And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The L
ORD
will be magnified from the border of Israel.
6
A son honoureth
his
father, and a servant his master: if then I
be
a father, where
is
mine honour?
and if I
be
a master, where
is
my fear? saith the L
ORD
of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my
name. 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 L
ORD
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?
