Malachi 1:6-14

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 armiesH6635 to you, the 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 beH959 despisedH959.’

8And whenH3588 you presentH5066 a 9blindH5787 animal for sacrificeH2076, is it not evilH7451? Or whenH3588 you presentH5066 a lameH6455 or sickH2470 animal, is it not evilH7451? SoH4994 offerH7126 it to your 10governorH6346! Would he be pleasedH7521 with you, orH176 would he receiveH5375H6440 you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.

9“But nowH6258, do indeedH4994 11pleadH2470 forH2470 God’sH410 favorH6440, so that He will beH2603 graciousH2603 to us. 12With suchH2088 an offering on your partH3027, will He 13receiveH5375H6440 anyH4480 of you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.

10“IfH4310H1571 onlyH4310H1571 there were one among you who would 14shutH5462 the 15gatesH1817, so that you would not kindleH215 fire on My altarH4196 forH2600 nothingH2600! I am not pleasedH2656 with you,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “16norH3808 will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 from your hand.

11For from the 17risingH4217 of the sunH8121 even to its settingH3996, 18My nameH8034 shall be 19greatH1419 among the nationsH1471, and in everyH3605 placeH4725 20frankincenseH4729 is going to be offeredH5066H6999 to My nameH8034, and a grain offeringH4503 that is pureH2889; for My nameH8034 shall be 21greatH1419 among the nationsH1471,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.

12“But you are 22profaningH2490 it by your sayingH559, ‘The tableH7979 of the LordH136 is defiledH1351, and as for its fruitH5204, its foodH400 is to beH959 despisedH959.’

13You also sayH559, ‘SeeH2009, 23howH4100 24tiresomeH8513 it is!’ And you viewH5301 it asH5301 trivialH5301,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “and you bringH935 what was takenH1497 byH1497 25robberyH1497 and what is 26lameH6455 or sickH2470; so you bringH935 the offeringH4503! Should I 27acceptH7521 it from your handH3027?” saysH559 the LordH3068.

14“But cursedH779 be the 28swindlerH5230 who hasH3426 a maleH2145 in his flockH5739 and vowsH5087 it, but sacrificesH2076 a 29blemishedH7843 animal to the LordH136, for I am a greatH1419 30KingH4428,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “and My nameH8034 is 3132fearedH3372 among the 33nationsH1471.”
