And if I am a master, where is My [c]respect?’ says the Lord of hosts to you, O (D)priests who despise My name. But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’ 7 You are presenting (E)defiled [d](F)food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The (G)table of the Lord is to be despised.’
