Malachi 1:6-8

6“A sonH1121 honorsH3513 his fatherH1, and a servantH5650 his masterH113. But ifH518 IH589 am a fatherH1, whereH346 is My honorH3519? And ifH518 IH589 am a masterH113, whereH346 is your fear of MeH4172?” saysH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 to you priestsH3548 who despiseH959 My nameH8034.

“But you askH559, ‘HowH4100 have we despisedH959 Your nameH8034?’

7By presentingH5066 defiledH1351 foodH3899 onH5921 My altarH4196.

But you askH559, ‘HowH4100 have we defiled YouH13511?’

By saying thatH559 the tableH7979 of the LORDH3068 is contemptibleH959H1931.

8WhenH3588 you offerH5066 blind animalsH5787 for sacrificeH2076, is it notH369 wrongH7451? And whenH3588 you presentH5066 the lameH6455 and sickH2470 ones, is it notH369 wrongH7451? Try offering themH7126H4994 to your governorH6346! Would he be pleasedH7521 with you orH176 show you favorH5375H6440?” asksH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635.
