10 “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
(A)So that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
I have no pleasure in you,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
(B)“Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.
11 For (C)from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great (D)among the Gentiles;
(E)In every place (F)incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
(G)For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
(H)‘The table of the [a]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
