+    <verse no='1'>The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast  thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I  loved Jacob,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage  waste for the dragons of the wilderness.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return  and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD 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 LORD hath indignation for  ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be  magnified from the border of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise  my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the  LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 persons?  saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have  snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was  torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I  accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male,  and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a  great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the  heathen.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to  give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a  curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed  them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your  faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away  with it.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto  you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them  to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my  name.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not  found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn  many away from iniquity.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should  seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of  hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to  stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the  LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before  all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been  partial in the law.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why  do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning  the covenant of our fathers?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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 offereth  an offering unto the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness  between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt  treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the  spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore  take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the  wife of his youth.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth  putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the  LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not  treacherously.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say,  Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is  good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is  the God of judgment?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the  way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his  temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold,  he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand  when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers'  soap:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And I will come near to you to judgment; 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, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the  stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob  are not consumed.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,  Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this  whole nation.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may  be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of  hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a  blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall  not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her  fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a  delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet  ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it  that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully  before the LORD of hosts?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work  wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:  and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was  written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon  his name.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and  the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and  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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded  unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming  of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,  and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite  the earth with a curse.</verse>
