11 “For My name will be great among the nations,(E) from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense[a] and pure offerings will be presented in My name in every place because My name will be great among the nations,”[b] says Yahweh of Hosts.

12 But you are profaning it(F) when you say: “The Lord’s table is defiled, and its product, its food, is contemptible.”
