Malachi 1:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Malachi 1:6

4 Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,” Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“They may build, but I will ^athrow down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.

5 Your eyes shall see,
And you shall say,
^a‘The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.’

Polluted Offerings

6 “A son ^ahonors his father,
And a servant his master.
^bIf then I am the Father,
Where is My honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?
Says the Lord of hosts
To you priests who despise My name.
^cYet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’

7 “You offer ^adefiled food on My altar,
But say,
‘In what way have we defiled You?’
By saying,
^b‘The table of the Lord is¹ contemptible.’

8 And ^awhen you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he ^baccept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
