Malachi 1:6-9

6“‘A son 1honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a 2father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My 3respect?’ says the Lord of hosts to you, O 4priests who despise My name. But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’

7You are presenting 5defiled 67food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The 8table of the Lord is to be despised.’

8But when you present the 9blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? 10Why not offer it to your 11governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts.

9“But now 12will you not 13entreat God’s favor, that He may be gracious to us? 14With such an offering on your part, will He 15receive any of you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts.
