Honoring the Lord

A son honors a father,
        and a servant honors his master.

    Or if I’m a master, where is my respect?

        to you priests who despise my name.

        By approaching my altar with polluted food.
But you say, “How have we polluted it[a]?”
        When you say, “The table of the Lord can be despised.”
