==Mal 1==

2. I have loved Jacob

3. I have placed Esau in second position

places of worship are silent

gave him desolation

4. Esau = Edom = Adam = man said "We will build"

Remember Babel "We will build"

Called "wicked territory"

5. The destruction of Edom will glorify God beyond the borders of Israel.

6. Priests dishonor God

7. Defiled sacrifices

8. Blind sacrifices -- ritual without understanding

Lame sacrifices -- not living the faith

Sick sacrifices -- in sin

9. Won't you ask for God's favor?

10. Why isn't there one among you who will STOP?

I don't want your sacrifice.

11. My name will be great among the nations

12. But you profane it saying God's religion is bad, and his word is bad.

13. Should I accept your inferior offerings?

14. Cursed are you. My name is feared among the nations.
