Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Malachi 1:14

_ _ deceiver — hypocrite. Not poverty, but avarice was the cause of their mean offerings.

_ _ male — required by law (Leviticus 1:3, Leviticus 1:10).

_ _ great King — (Psalms 48:2; Matthew 5:35).

_ _ my name ... dreadful among ... heathen — Even the heathen dread Me because of My judgments; what a reproach this is to you, My people, who fear Me not (Malachi 1:6)! Also it may be translated, “shall be feared among,” etc. agreeing with the prophecy of the call of the Gentiles (Malachi 1:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Malachi 1:6-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Malachi 1:14

The deceiver — The hypocrite that would seem to offer a sacrifice of the best, but puts God off with the worst. A male — A perfect male, such as God requireth.
