Malachi 1:11-13

International Children’s Bible

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.’ ¹³ You say, ‘We are tired of doing this.’ And you sniff at it in disgust,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies.

“And you bring hurt, crippled and sick animals. You bring them as gifts. But I won’t accept them from you,” says the Lord.
