New International Version
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(A) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(B) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(C) no offering(D) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(E) among the nations,(F) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(G) In every place incense(H) and pure offerings(I) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table(J) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(K) is contemptible.’
