As bruised reed has demonstrated, generally when you're reading a reference you just read what it says.
If you were using this to announce a reading, then there are a few ways:
In Roman Catholic liturgy the details aren't necessary
A reading from the prophet Malachi
In Church of England liturgy, in traditional language the reference is read in “reverse order”
Here beginneth the seventh verse of the third chapter of the book of the prophet Malachi
Other liturgies
There may be no set way. I’ve certainly heard “The first lesson comes from Malachi chapter three, starting to read from the second part of verse seven”

I generally use “through” (spoken) or a hyphen (written) for any adjacent verses, and “and” (spoken) or a comma (written) to signify a jump in verses.
Malachi 3:7b-8, 10-11
Malachi three seven bee through eight and ten through eleven.
Or
Malachi chapter three verses seven bee through eight and ten through eleven.
