2I have loved you, says LORD JEHOVAH, and you were saying: ”In what have you loved us?” Was not Esau the brother of Yaqob, says LORD JEHOVAH? I have loved Yaqob and Esau I have hated 3I have made his mountains into desolation and his inheritance into sheepfolds of the wilderness 4And if the Edomites will say, ”We are poor, we shall return, we shall build up the desolations”, thus says LORD JEHOVAH, they shall build and I shall throw down, and they shall call them the borders of sin and the people with whom LORD JEHOVAH is angry to eternity 5And your eyes will see, but you will say: ”LORD JEHOVAH will be great beyond the borders of Israel!”

6A son honors his father and a Servant his Master; if I am The Father where is it that you are honoring me? And if I am THE LORD, where is it that you are in awe of me, LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts says to you Priests who despise my name? And if you say, ”In what have we despised your name?” 7Because you offer on my altar defiled bread; and if you say, ”In what have we defiled you?” In that you say that the table of LORD JEHOVAH is despised 8And because you bring the blind to the altar, is it not evil, and because you offer the crippled and the sick, is it not evil? Bring it now to your Governor; will he be pleased with you, or will he accept your person, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts? 9Therefore pray before LORD JEHOVAH and he shall show compassion upon us; because this was in your hands, I shall not accept your persons, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts 10Who is there among you who would guard my gates and you would not offer what is without cost on my altar? I am not pleased with you, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, and I shall not accept an offering from you 11Because from the risings of the sun and unto its settings, my name is great among the Gentiles and in every place they put incense and bring to my name pure offerings, for great is my name among the Gentiles, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts 12And you are defiling it, in that you say: “The table of LORD JEHOVAH is defiled and its foods are contemptible” 13And you say, “This is from our misery”, and I blew on them, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, because you bring a crippled and sick offering from plunder; I do not accept them from your hands, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts 14And cursed is he whoever has a ram in his flock, and he vowed and sacrificed what is sick to LORD JEHOVAH, for I am the great King, says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, and my name is awesome among the Gentiles
