Malachi 1:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name and a pure offering, for my name is great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.^{(A) 12} But you profane it when you say that the Lord’s table is polluted and its food^[a] may be despised. ¹³ “What a weariness this is,” you say, and you sniff at it,^[b] says the Lord of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord.^(B)
