Malachi 1:6-8

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 armies to you, the 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.’

8And when you present a 9blind animal for sacrifice, is it not evil? Or when you present a lame or sick animal, is it not evil? So offer it to your 10governor! Would he be pleased with you, or would he receive you kindly?” says the Lord of armies.
