Malachi 1:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ “I wish one of you would close the Temple doors so that you would not light ·useless [worthless; meaningless] fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you and will not accept ·your gifts [^Lan offering from your hand],” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts]. ¹¹ “From the east to the west ·I [^Lmy name] will be honored among the nations. Everywhere they will bring incense and ·clean [pure; undefiled] offerings to me, because ·I will be honored [^Lmy name will be great] among the nations,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts].

¹² “But you ·don’t honor [profane] me. You say about the Lord’s ·altar [table], ‘It is ·unclean [defiled], and the food ·has no worth [is despicable/contemptible].’
