8 ^aWhen 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.

Malachi 1:13-14

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.
