Whereas°
Edom°
saith,°°

saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
They°
shall build,°°
but I°
will throw down;°°
and they shall call°°
them, The border°
of wickedness,°
and, The people°
against whom°
Yahweh°
hath indignation°°
for°
ever.°° |

A son honours [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honour? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord Almighty. Ye the priests are they that despise my name: yet ye said, Wherein have we despised thy name? |

A son°
honoureth°°
[his] father,°
and a servant°
his adon:°
if°

where°
[is] mine honour?°
and if°
I°
[be] a adon,°
where°
[is] my fear?°
saith°°

unto you, O priests,°
that despise°°
my name.°

bread°

For if ye bring a blind [victim] for sacrifices, [is it] not evil? and if ye bring the lame or the sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now to thy ruler, [and see] if he will receive thee, if he will accept thy person, saith the Lord Almighty. |

And if°
ye offer°°
the blind°
for sacrifice,°°
[is it] not°
evil?°

[is it] not°
evil?°
offer°°
it now°
unto thy governor;°

with thee, or°
accept°°
thy person?°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |

I pray you,°
beseech°°°
El°

unto us: this°
hath been°
by your means:°°
will he regard°°
your°
persons?°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
1:10
Because even among you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands. |
|

Who°
[is there] even°
among you that would shut°°
the doors°
[for nought]? neither°
do ye kindle°°
[fire] on mine altar°
for nought.°

pleasure°
in you, saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
neither°
will I accept°°
an offering°
at your hand.°° |

from the rising°°
of the sun°
even unto°
the going down°
of the same my name°
[shall be] great°
among the Gentiles;°

place°
incense°°
[shall be] offered°°
unto my name,°
and a pure°
offering:°
for°
my name°
[shall be] great°
among the heathen,°
saith°°

1:13
Ye said°°
also, Behold,°
what a weariness°°
[is it]! and ye have snuffed°°
at°
it, saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
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°°
Yahweh.° |

And cursed [is the man] who had the power, and possessed a male in his flock, and whose vow is upon him, and who sacrifices a corrupt thing to the Lord: for I am a great King, saith the Lord Almighty, and my name is glorious among the nations. |

But cursed°°
[be] the deceiver,°°
which°
hath°
in his flock°
a male,°
and voweth,°°
and sacrificeth°°
unto Yahweh°
a corrupt thing:°°
for°
I°
[am] a great°
King,°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
and my name°
[is] dreadful°°
among the heathen.° |
