Malachi 1:10-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
10 “Oh that there were one among you who would (A)shut the [a]gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of hosts, “(B)nor will I accept an offering from [b]you. 11 For from the (C)rising of the sun even to its setting, (D)My name will be (E)great among the nations, and in every place (F)incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be (G)great among the nations,” says the Lord of hosts. 12 “But you are (H)profaning it, in that you say, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food is to be despised.’

Malachi 1:10-12
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.’
