Malachi 1:8-13
8And whenH3588 you presentH5066 a 1blindH5787 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 2governorH6346! Would he be pleasedH7521 with you, orH176 would he receiveH5375H6440 you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
9“But nowH6258, do indeedH4994 3pleadH2470 forH2470 God’sH410 favorH6440, so that He will beH2603 graciousH2603 to us. 4With suchH2088 an offering on your partH3027, will He 5receiveH5375H6440 anyH4480 of you kindlyH6440?” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
10“IfH4310H1571 onlyH4310H1571 there were one among you who would 6shutH5462 the 7gatesH1817, so that you would not kindleH215 fire on My altarH4196 forH2600 nothingH2600! I am not pleasedH2656 with you,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “8norH3808 will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 from your hand.
11For from the 9risingH4217 of the sunH8121 even to its settingH3996, 10My nameH8034 shall be 11greatH1419 among the nationsH1471, and in everyH3605 placeH4725 12frankincenseH4729 is going to be offeredH5066H6999 to My nameH8034, and a grain offeringH4503 that is pureH2889; for My nameH8034 shall be 13greatH1419 among the nationsH1471,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
12“But you are 14profaningH2490 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, 15howH4100 16tiresomeH8513 it is!’ And you viewH5301 it asH5301 trivialH5301,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “and you bringH935 what was takenH1497 byH1497 17robberyH1497 and what is 18lameH6455 or sickH2470; so you bringH935 the offeringH4503! Should I 19acceptH7521 it from your handH3027?” saysH559 the LordH3068.
