7You are presentingH5066 1defiledH1351 23foodH3899 upon My altarH4196. But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 have we defiledH1351 You?’ In that you sayH559, ‘The 4tableH7979 of the LordH3068 is to be despisedH959.’

8But whenH3588 you presentH5066 the 5blindH5787 for sacrificeH2076, is it not evilH7451? And whenH3588 you presentH5066 the lameH6455 and sickH2470, is it not evilH7451? 6Why not offerH7126 it to your 7governorH6346? Would he be pleasedH7521 with you? OrH176 would he receiveH5375H6440 you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.
