Malachi 1:10-12

The Voice

Eternal One: ¹⁰ Who among you would shut the doors that would keep Me from smelling your sacrifice and you from wasting time kindling the fire on My altar? I, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, don’t delight in you. I will not accept any grain offering you present, ¹¹ for from the rising of the sun to its descent, My name is great among the nations and in every place smoke of a pure offering rises up to Me. Even those nations whom I haven’t chosen as My own recognize My name is great—those who don’t recognize Me as the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies.

¹² But you, My chosen ones, are soiling My name when you say, “The table of the Lord is dirty, and the food on it is despised,”
