1 The burden of the Word of YAHUVEH to Israel by the hand of Malachi: 2 I have loved you, says YAHUVEH. But you say, In what way have You loved us?
Was not Esau the brother to Jacob? Yet YAHUVEH declares, I loved Jacob, 3 and I have hated Esau and have made his mountains a desolation, and his
inheritance to be for the jackals of the wilderness. 4 If Edom says, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the ruined
places; so says YAHUVEH of Hosts: They shall build, but I will tear down. And
they shall call them the region of wickedness, and the people whom YAHUVEH is
enraged with until forever. 5 And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, YAHUVEH will be magnified beyond
the border of Israel. 6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father,
where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My fear? says YAHUVEH of Hosts
to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, In what have we despised
Your name? 7 You are offering defiled food on My altar, and you say, In what have we
defiled You? It is in your saying, The table of YAHUVEH, it is to be despised. 8 And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if you offer the
lame and the sick, is it not evil? Bring it now to your governor. Will he accept
you or lift up your face? says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 9 And now entreat the face of ELOHIM, that He favor us. This has been by your
hands; will He lift up your faces? says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 10 Who is even among you that will shut the doors, and you not kindle fire on My
altar in vain? There is no delight to Me in you, says YAHUVEH of Hosts. I will
not accept a food offering from your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun to its going down, My name shall be great
among the nations, and everywhere incense shall be offered to My name; and a
pure food offering; for My name shall be great among the nations, says YAHUVEH
of Hosts. 12 But you are profaning it when you say, The table of YAHUVEH, it is polluted;
and its fruit, His food is to be despicable. 13 And you have said, Behold, what weariness! And you have sniffed at it, says
YAHUVEH of Hosts. And you bring the stolen, and the lame, and the sick; and you
bring the grain offering. Should I accept it from your hand? says YAHUVEH. 14 But cursed be a deceiver and there is a male in his flock, and he vows it,
but he sacrifices a blemished one to YAHUVEH. For I am a great King, says
YAHUVEH of Hosts, and My name is feared among the nations. *~Malachi Chapter 2 ~*
1 And now, O priests, this command is to you. 2 If you will not hear, and if you will not set it on your heart to give glory
to My name, says YAHUVEH of Hosts, then I will send the curse on you, and I will
curse your blessings. And indeed, I have cursed it, because you are not setting
it on your heart. 3 Behold, I am rebuking your seed, and I will spread dung on your faces, the
dung of your solemn feasts; and one will lift you up to it. 4 And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, to be My covenant
with Levi, says YAHUVEH of Hosts. 5 My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him for fear; and
he feared Me, and he is put in awe before My name. 6 The Law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips. In
peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, and he turned many from iniquity. 7 For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek the
Torah from his mouth; for he is the messenger of YAHUVEH of Hosts. 1 I tell the truth in MESSIAH, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with
me in the Holy Spirit, 2 that my grief is great, and a never ceasing pain is in my heart, 3 for I myself was wishing to be a curse from MESSIAH for the sake of my
brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to who belongs the Sonship and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the service, and the promises; 5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the MESSIAH according to flesh, He
being Elohim over all, blessed forever. Amen. 6 Not, however, that the word of Elohim hath actually failed; for all those who
belong to Israel are not Israelites. 7 nor because they are Abraham’s seed are all children, but “In Isaac shall your
Seed be called.”
Romans 9:1–13
1 I tell the truth in Messiah, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with
me in the Holy Spirit, 2 that my grief is great, and a never ceasing pain is in my heart, 3 for I myself was wishing to be a curse from Messiah for the sake of my
brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to who belongs the sonship and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the service, and the promises; 5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to flesh, He
being Elohim over all, blessed forever. Amen. 6 Not, however, that the word of Elohim hath actually failed; for all those who
belong to Israel are not Israelites. 7 nor because they are Abraham's seed are all children, but "In Isaac shall your
Seed be called." (Gen. 21:12) 8 That is: Not the children of flesh are children of Elohim, but the children of
the promise are counted for as descendants. 9 For the Word of promise is this, "I will come at this season, and Sarah will
have a son." (Gen. 18:10) 10 And not only so, but also Rebecca conceiving of one, our father Isaac, 11 for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that
the purpose of Elohim according to election might stand, not of works, but of
the One calling, 12 it was said to her, "The Elder shall be servant of the younger;" (Gen. 25:23) 13 even as it has been written, "Jacob I loved, and Esau I have set aside."
(Mal. 1:2, 3)
