The World English Bible (WEB): Malachi
Book 39 Malachi 001:001 An oracle: the word of Yahweh to Israel by Malachi. 001:002 "I have loved you," says Yahweh. Yet you say, "How have you loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" says Yahweh, "Yet I loved Jacob; 001:003 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness." 001:004 Whereas Edom says, "We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places;" thus says Yahweh of Armies, "They shall build, but I will throw down; and men will call them 'The Wicked Land,' even the people against whom Yahweh shows wrath forever." 001:005 Your eyes will see, and you will say, "Yahweh is great-- even beyond the border of Israel!" 001:006 "A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? Says Yahweh of Armies to you, priests, who despise my name. You say, 'How have we despised your name?' 001:007 You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, 'How have we polluted you?' In that you say, 'Yahweh's table contemptible.' 001:008 When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn't that evil?
32:001:007 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast
lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us.
So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
32:001:008 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose
cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and
whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people
art thou?
32:001:009 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD,
the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
32:001:010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why
hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the
presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
32:001:011 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the
sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was
tempestuous.
32:001:012 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the
sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my
sake this great tempest is upon you.
