Malachi 1:6-8

The Priests’ Polluted Offerings

6 a“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am ba father, where is my honor? And if I am ca master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. dBut you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ 7 eBy offering polluted food upon my altar. fBut you say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ By saying that gthe Lord’s table may be despised. 8 hWhen 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.
