(C)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”

For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.

Nor (A)shall their (B)sacrifices be pleasing to Him.

For their bread shall be for their own life;
It shall not come into the house of the Lord.
