1The burden of the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] by Mal’akh [My messenger].

2I have loved you, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). Yet you^2f say, Wherein have youⁱ loved us? [Was] not ‘Esav [Hairy] Ya’akov [Heal of God]'s brother? says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): yet I loved Ya’akov [Heal of God], 3And I hated ‘Esav [Hairy], and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4Whereas Edom [Red] says, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has indignation forever. 5And your eyes shall see, and you^2f shall say, The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will be magnified from the border of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

6A son honors [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I [be] a father, where [is] my honour? and if I [be] a master, where [is] my fear? says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And you^2f say, Wherein have we despised youⁱ name? 7You^2f offer polluted bread upon my altar; and you^2f say, Wherein have we polluted youⁱ? In that you^2f say, The table of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] contemptible. 8And if you^2f offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? and if you^2f offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now unto youⁱ governor; will he be pleased with youⁱ, or accept youⁱ person? says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]. 9And now, I pray you, beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that he will be gracious unto us: this has been by your means: will he regard your persons? says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]. 10Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for nothing]? neither do you^2f kindle [fire] on my altar for nothing. I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11For 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, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]. 12But you^2f have profaned it, in that you^2f say, The table of the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All] [is] polluted; and the fruit thereof, [even] his meat, [is] contemptible. 13You^2f said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]! and you^2f have snuffed at it, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; and you^2f brought [that which was] torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus you^2f brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 14But cursed [be] the deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I [am] a great King, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and my name [is] dreadful among the heathen.
