Malachi 1:7-8

7You are presenting 1defiled 23food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The 4table of the Lord is to be despised.’

8But when you present the 5blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? 6Why not offer it to your 7governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts.
