⁸ When you ·bring [offer] blind animals as sacrifices, ·that is [^Lis that not…?] wrong. When you ·bring [offer] crippled and sick animals, ·that is [^Lis that not…?] wrong [Lev. 1:3]. Try giving them to your governor. Would he be pleased with you? ·He wouldn’t [^LWould he…?] accept you,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts].

¹³ You say, ‘We are tired of doing this,’ and you ·sniff [sneer] at it in disgust,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts].

“And you bring ·hurt [or stolen], crippled, and sick animals as gifts. You bring them as ·gifts [offerings], but I won’t accept them from ·you [^Lyour hands],” says the Lord.
