Malachi 1:13-14

New English Translation

¹³ You also say, ‘How tiresome it is.’ You turn up your nose at it,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “and instead bring what is stolen, lame, or sick. You bring these things for an offering! Should I accept this from you?”^[a] asks the Lord. ¹⁴ “There will be harsh condemnation for the hypocrite who has a valuable male animal in his flock but vows and sacrifices something inferior to the Lord. For I am a great king,”^[b] says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”
