|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,
|
|The LORD says: "I love you." But you reply, "How do we know you love us?" The LORD replies, "I love you for the same reason that, even Esau and Jacob were brothers, I loved Jacob and hated Esau

|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.
|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.
|
|If the people from Edom, descendants of Esau, would say: "We have been destroyed, but we will rebuild our nation” the LORD Almighty would answer: "They may rebuild, but I will destroy them again. Their country will be called 'The Land of the Wicked ' and 'The Nation the Eternal Wrath of the LORD '. "

|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?
|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?
|
|The LORD Almighty tells to the priests: "A son honors his father, and a servant respect his master. So if I am your Father, why don’t you worship me? If I am your Master, why don’t you fear me? “You despise me, and still are so cynical to say: “How have we despised you?"

|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.
|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.
|
|You bring to my altar unworthy bread, and still wonder, “How do we offend you?” You offend me when you don't give my table the importance it deserves

|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.
|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.
|
|And that there is nothing wrong in offering blind, lame or sick animals. “Go ahead and take them to your rulers! See if they would gladly accept your gift!“

|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.
|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.

|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.
|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.
|
|I hope any of you would shut the doors of the temple, so you don’t lit in vain the fire of my altar: for I am not happy with you and I won’t continue to accept your offerings.

| In all nations of the world I must be honored, everywhere incense must be burnt in my honor and I must be presented with worthy offerings.

|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.

|You say, “We're tired of this!” And you despise me. And yet I'm supposed to cheer when you come to offer me a stolen animal, or a lame or sick cow.
