Malachi 1:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ ‘It would be better if one of you shut the temple doors! Then you would not be able to offer useless sacrifices on my altar. I am not happy with you. I will not accept any more gifts from you.’

That is what the Lord Almighty says.

¹¹ ‘People in every nation of the whole world will respect my name. People everywhere will offer incense and pure sacrifices to worship me. They will all know that I am great.’

That is what the Lord Almighty says.

¹² ‘But you priests insult my name. You say that the Lord's altar is not special. You think that the food which you offer to me has no value.
