Malachi 1:12-14

12 But you profane it when you say that ^athe Lord’s table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. 13 But you say, ^b‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. ^cYou 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 ^da male in his flock, and ^evows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For ^fI am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name ^gwill be feared among the nations.
