Malachi 1:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 You are presenting (A)defiled [a](B)food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The (C)table of the Lord is to be despised.’ 8 But when you present the (D)blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? [b]Why not offer it to your (E)governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts. 9 “But now [c]will you not (F)entreat God’s favor, that He may be gracious to us? [d]With such an offering on your part, will He (G)receive any of you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts.
