Malachi 1:6-9

6“‘A sonH1121 1honorsH3513 his fatherH1, and a servantH5650 his masterH113. Then ifH518 I am a 2fatherH1, whereH346 is My honorH3519? And ifH518 I am a masterH113, whereH346 is My 3respectH4172?’ saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 to you, O 4priestsH3548 who despiseH959 My nameH8034. But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 have we despisedH959 Your nameH8034?’

7You are presentingH5066 5defiledH1351 67foodH3899 upon My altarH4196. But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 have we defiledH1351 You?’ In that you sayH559, ‘The 8tableH7979 of the LordH3068 is to be despisedH959.’

8But whenH3588 you presentH5066 the 9blindH5787 for sacrificeH2076, is it not evilH7451? And whenH3588 you presentH5066 the lameH6455 and sickH2470, is it not evilH7451? 10Why not offerH7126 it to your 11governorH6346? Would he be pleasedH7521 with you? OrH176 would he receiveH5375H6440 you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.

9“But nowH6258 12will you not 13entreatH2470 God’sH410 favorH6440, that He may be graciousH2603 to us? 14With suchH2088 an offering on your partH3027, will He 15receiveH5375H6440 anyH4480 of you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
