Malice \Mal"ice\, n. [F. malice, fr. L. malitia, from malus bad,       ill, evil, prob. orig., dirty, black; cf. Gr. [?] black, Skr.       mala dirt. Cf. {Mauger}.]       1. Enmity of heart; malevolence; ill will; a spirit             delighting in harm or misfortune to another; a disposition             to injure another; a malignant design of evil. [bd]Nor set             down aught in malice.[b8] --Shak.                         Envy, hatred, and malice are three distinct passions                      of the mind.                                       --Ld. Holt.          2. (Law) Any wicked or mischievous intention of the mind; a             depraved inclination to mischief; an intention to vex,             annoy, or injure another person, or to do a wrongful act             without just cause or cause or excuse; a wanton disregard             of the rights or safety of others; willfulness.          {Malice aforethought} [or] {prepense}, malice previously and             deliberately entertained.          Syn: Spite; ill will; malevolence; grudge; pique; bitterness;                animosity; malignity; maliciousness; rancor; virulence.          Usage: See {Spite}. -- {Malevolence}, {Malignity},                   {Malignancy}. Malice is a stronger word than                   malevolence, which may imply only a desire that evil                   may befall another, while malice desires, and perhaps                   intends, to bring it about. Malignity is intense and                   deepseated malice. It implies a natural delight in                   hating and wronging others. One who is malignant must                   be both malevolent and malicious; but a man may be                   malicious without being malignant.                               Proud tyrants who maliciously destroy And ride                            o'er ruins with malignant joy.      --Somerville.                               in some connections, malignity seems rather more                            pertinently applied to a radical depravity of                            nature, and malignancy to indications of this                            depravity, in temper and conduct in particular                            instances.                                    --Cogan.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Malachi, Prophecies of       The contents of the book are comprised in four chapters. In the       Hebrew text the third and fourth chapters (of the A.V.) form but       one. The whole consists of three sections, preceded by an       introduction (Mal. 1:1-5), in which the prophet reminds Israel       of Jehovah's love to them. The first section (1:6-2:9) contains       a stern rebuke addressed to the priests who had despised the       name of Jehovah, and been leaders in a departure from his       worship and from the covenant, and for their partiality in       administering the law. In the second (2:9-16) the people are       rebuked for their intermarriages with idolatrous heathen. In the       third (2:17-4:6) he addresses the people as a whole, and warns       them of the coming of the God of judgment, preceded by the       advent of the Messiah.                This book is frequently referred to in the New Testament       (Matt. 11:10; 17:12; Mark 1:2; 9:11, 12; Luke 1:17; Rom. 9:13).
