Malachi 1:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ “Now try asking God to be kind to you. This is what you are doing! Will he welcome you?” asks the Lord of Armies.

¹⁰ “I wish one of you would shut the doors ⌞to my house⌟ so that you could not light fires on my altar for no reason. I’m not pleased with you,” says the Lord of Armies, “and I won’t accept your offerings.

¹¹ “From the nations where the sun rises to the nations where the sun sets, my name will be great. Incense and pure offerings will be offered everywhere in my name, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord of Armies.
