Malachi 2:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible

11 Judah's people have turned against God.[a] As a result, people have done disgusting things in Jerusalem and in all Israel.[b] You have spoiled the holy place, the temple that the Lord loves.[c] You have turned away from the Lord and you worship foreign gods. 12 I pray that the Lord will remove all people like that from among his people. Not one of them will continue to belong to the family of Jacob.[d] They will no longer be able to offer gifts to the Lord Almighty.

13 Also, you weep so much that your tears cover the Lord's altar! You cry because the Lord no longer accepts your gifts. He is not happy with the gifts that you offer to him.
