^8 (A)When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts.

¹² May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob any descendant^[a] of the man who does this, who ^(A)brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!

³ He will sit ^(A)as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring ^(B)offerings in righteousness to the Lord.^[a]
