What Malachi is about
Malachi is the last of the prophets. He rebukes careless priests and a weary people in a series of questions and answers, and closes with a call to remember the Torah of Moses and the promise that Elijah will come before the great day.
Opening verse
מַשָּׂא דְבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיַד מַלְאָכִי׃
The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
