---

And the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together,

Gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

¹⁵And so shall be the plague of the horse,

Of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass,

And of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as this plague.

¹⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁷And it shall be, that whoso of the families of the earth goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain. ¹⁸And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, they shall have no overflow; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁹This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. ²⁰In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses: HOLY UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the basins before the altar. ²¹Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto the Lord of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein; and in that day there shall be no more a trafficker in the house of the Lord of hosts.

MALACHI

1The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.

 

²I 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;

³But Esau I hated,

And made his mountains a desolation,

And gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.

⁴Whereas Edom saith:

'We are beaten down,

But we will return and build the waste places';

Thus saith the Lord of hosts:

They shall build, but I will throw down;

And they shall be called The border of wickedness,

And The people whom the Lord execrateth for ever.

⁵And your eyes shall see,

And ye shall say:

'The Lord is great beyond the border of Israel.'

 

⁶A son honoureth 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?
