## Malachi 1:6-13 in Context (Verses 3–14 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/malachi/1/3) And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/malachi/1/4) 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.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/malachi/1/5) And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/malachi/1/6) ¶ 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?
 
 [7 ](/kjv/malachi/1/7) 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 ](/kjv/malachi/1/8) 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.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/malachi/1/9) 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.**
 
 [10 ](/kjv/malachi/1/10) 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 ](/kjv/malachi/1/11) 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 ](/kjv/malachi/1/12) ¶ 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/malachi/1/13) 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.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/malachi/1/14) 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.*
