Cruelty and Violence in Malachi

1. God continues to demand animal sacrifices. And not just any animals will do. He is insulted when blind, lame, or sick animals are killed for him. 1:8, 13-14

2. God will burn "the wicked" and the "righteous" will walk around on their ashes. 4:1-3

3. The Old Testament ends fittingly with these words: "lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." 4:6
