Malachi 1:10-14

English Standard Version

^10 (A)Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of hosts, ^(B)and I will not accept an offering from your hand. ¹¹ For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name ^(C)will be^[a] great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name ^(D)will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts. ¹² But you profane it when you say that ^(E)the Lord's table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. ¹³ But you say, ^(F)‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. ^(G)You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord. ¹⁴ Cursed be the cheat who has ^(H)a male in his flock, and ^(I)vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For ^(J)I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name ^(K)will be feared among the nations.
