0:57 Am
I have loved you, says the LORD
"In what way have you loved us?"
Was not Esau Jacob's bro?

1:14 Dm
Yet Jacob I have loved, But Esau I have hated
And laid waste his lands and heritage in the wilderness.

1:29 Am
Though Esau/E-|dom has said, "We've been impoverished.
But we will return and build the desolate places,"

1:47 Dm
They may build, but I will throw down
They're the 'Land of Wickedness'
And My indignation against them will last forever!

2:03 Am
Your eyes shall see -- and you shall say
"YHVH is magnified beyond Israel."

2:20 —Solo--

2:35 Am
A son honors his father, and a servant his master
If then I am the Father, where's My honor?

2:52 Am
And if I am a Master, where is My reverence? you priests who despise My name.
And yet you say,

3:09 Dm
"How have we despised Your name?" I will tell you: in this way:
You despise my offerings, says YHVH!

3:25 Am
You offer, de - |filed food, on my altar.
"But how have we defiled You?" Because you say,

3:43 Dm
That the table of YHVH is not worthy of your best
That the table of YVHV is contemptible!

3:59 Am
8. When you sacrifice what's blind, is it not evil?
And offer God the lame and sick, is it not evil?

4:15 Dm
Try offering it to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept you favorably, when you say:

4:32 Am
"Now let us pray God's | favor, Gov, may |God.be.gracious unto us."

4:40 Am
When you do this by your hands, will you be accepted by the Gov?

4:49 Dm
Neither will-- I accept -- your blemished offerings
- I will not accept you, says YHVH!

--solo
6:11 Am
Who is there among you now, who would shut the doors
That you would not make fire in vain, on My altar?

Dm
I have no pleasure in you, Says YHVH the LORD of Hosts
Nor will I accept an offering from your hands!

6:44 Am
For from the rising of the sun, to its going down
My name shall be great among, - the Gentiles;

Dm
In every|nation, pure incense, shall be offered to My name
A praise offering of the nations to YHVH!

--solo
7:18 Am
But you pro-|fane My name, in that you say,
"This table is defiled," the table of YHVH!

Dm
"And its fruit, its food —contemptible!
Oh, what a weariness!"
And then * * * ... you sneer at it!

-solo
8:24 Am
Says YHVH Sabaoth
You bring the stolen, lame, the sick--
This you call your offering??
Should I accept this from your hand?

8:40 Dm
But cursed be the deceiver, who has it in his flock
Then takes a vow to sacrifice what has a spot!

8:57 Am
For I am a great King, says YHVH Sabaoth
And My name is to be feared, among the nations.
-solo
