Study Lenses
The verse centers on "behold", "weariness", "snuffed", "saith", "jehovah", "hosts", "brought", and "taken". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "behold" and "weariness", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 12's "But ye profane it in that ye..." into verse 14's "But cursed be the deceiver who hath...", so "behold" and "weariness" belong inside that flow. In Malachi context, the local focus is covenant faithfulness, priestly corruption, divine justice, and the coming day of the LORD.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "behold" and "weariness" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
