Löydetty 6608 Tulokset: Lord
No corner of the world, from sun’s rise to sun’s setting, where the renown of me is not heard among the Gentiles, where sacrifice is not done, and pure offering made in my honour; so revered is my name, says the Lord of hosts, there among the Gentiles;✻ (Malachi 1, 11)
and you? That you should hold it so cheap! That you should think to yourselves, The Lord’s table is desecrated now; it makes no matter what food lies there, or what fire burns it! (Malachi 1, 12)
Weary work, say you, and dismiss it with a sigh. Beast mangled, beast gone lame, beast that is ailing you present to me, and the bloodless offering with it. And should the Lord of hosts accept the gift you make him? (Malachi 1, 13)
Cursed be the knavery that offers the Lord gelt beast, when vows are a-paying, and all the while there is an entire beast left at home!✻ Offers it to the Lord of hosts, the great King, no name in all the world so terrible! (Malachi 1, 14)
Give me neither heed nor hearing, says the Lord of hosts, let my name go unhonoured, and with sore distress I will visit you; falls my curse on all the blessings you enjoy, falls my curse …,✻ to the punishing of your heedlessness. (Malachi 2, 2)
So you shall learn your lesson; my law I gave you, says the Lord of hosts, in token of my covenant with Levi’s family. (Malachi 2, 4)
No utterance like a priest’s for learning; from no other lips men will expect true guidance; is he not a messenger✻ to them from the Lord of hosts? (Malachi 2, 7)
That path you have forsaken; through your ill teaching, how many a foothold lost! Nay, says the Lord of hosts, you have annulled my covenant with Levi altogether. (Malachi 2, 8)
Here is great wrong in Juda, here are foul deeds done by Israel and Jerusalem!✻ Juda, that was once content to be set apart for the Lord, has profaned that holy estate, has taken wives that worship a god he knew not. (Malachi 2, 11)
Doer of such a deed, set he or followed the ill example, shall be lost to the dwelling-place of Jacob, for all his offerings made to the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 2, 12)
And anon, weeping and wailing, you drench the Lord’s altar with your tears! What marvel if I heed your sacrifices no more, gift of yours is none can appease me? (Malachi 2, 13)
And the reason of it? Because the Lord bears witness to her wrongs, that wife of thy manhood’s age, whom now thou spurnest, thy partner, thy covenanted bride! (Malachi 2, 14)
