Malachi 1:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 However, you profane my name
when you claim that the table of the Lord is polluted,
and that therefore the food offered on it
is not worthy of respect.
13 You also assert, “How tiresome all this is!”
and you sniff scornfully at me,
says the Lord of hosts.
You bring an animal
that is stolen, lame, or diseased,
and you present it to me as a sacrifice.
Shall I accept this from your hands,
asks the Lord.
14 Accursed is the deceiver
who has a male in his flock
and vows to give it,
but then sacrifices a blemished animal to me.
For I am a great king,
says the Lord of hosts,
and my name is held in awe among the nations.
