Malachi 2:9Bible in Basic English 1965And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law. See the chapter |
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
