^(A)“Thus they have loved to wander;
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
^(B)He will remember their iniquity now,
And punish their sins.”

⁹ “But now entreat God’s favor,
That He may be gracious to us.
^(C)While this is being done by your hands,
Will He accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.
¹⁰ “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
^(D)So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
I have no pleasure in you,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
^(E)“Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.
¹¹ For ^(F)from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great ^(G)among the Gentiles;
^(H)In every place ^(I)incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
^(J)For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

¹² “But you profane it,
In that you say,
^(K)‘The table of the ^[b]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
¹³ You also say,
‘Oh, what a ^(L)weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
^(M)Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.
