Malachi 1:9

“But ask now for God’s favor. Will He be gracious? Since this has come from your hands, will He show you favor?” asks the Lord of Hosts.

And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.

Note God: Heb. the face of God

Note by…: Heb. from your hand

“Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says the Lord of Armies.

Note The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts.
