Malachi 1:12-14

12“But you are 1profaning it by your saying, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food is to be despised.’

13You also say, ‘See, 2how 3tiresome it is!’ And you view it as trivial,” says the Lord of armies, “and you bring what was taken by 4robbery and what is 5lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I 6accept it from your hand?” says the Lord.

14“But cursed be the 7swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a 8blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great 9King,” says the Lord of armies, “and My name is 1011feared among the 12nations.”
