Malachi 1:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ “I wish one of you would close the Temple doors. Then you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you. I will not accept your gifts,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ¹¹ “From the east to the west I will be honored among the nations. Everywhere they will bring incense and clean offerings to me. I will be honored among the nations,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies.

¹² “But you don’t honor me. You say about the Lord’s altar, ‘It is unclean. The food has no worth.’
