- The word of the Lord came to Malachi saying, I loved Jacob but hated Esau & Edom. If I am a father, where is my honor? The priests offer polluted bread & sacrifice defiled animals. My name shall be great among the Gentiles. Deceivers with corrupt offerings shall be cursed. #Mlch1
- You priests, if you do not hear, I will curse your blessings & spread dung on your face. You have corrupted my covenant with Levi, & Judah has profaned the Lord. Let no one deal treacherously with the wife of his youth. She is your companion, the wife of your covenant. #Mlch2
- Behold, I will send my messenger to prepare the way before me. He shall purify the sons of Levi. I will rebuke those who have robbed me. Then there will not be room to receive your rewards. All nations shall call you blessed. Those who return & serve God will be spared. #Mlch3
- The day comes when the proud & wicked shall be stubble, burned up, leaving neither root nor branch. Remember the laws of Moses. Behold, I will send Elijah the prophet before that dreadful day, to turn the hearts of children & fathers, lest I smite the earth with a curse. #Mlch4
