Malachi 1:11-13
Good News Translation
11 People from one end of the world to the other honor me. Everywhere they burn incense to me and offer acceptable sacrifices. All of them honor me! 12 But you dishonor me when you say that my altar is worthless and when you offer on it food that you despise. 13 You say, ‘How tired we are of all this!’ and you turn up your nose at me. As your offering to me you bring a stolen animal or one that is lame or sick. Do you think I will accept that from you?

Malachi 1:11-13
New International Version
11 My name will be great(A) among the nations,(B) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(C) In every place incense(D) and pure offerings(E) 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(F) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(G) is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’(H) and you sniff at it contemptuously,(I)” says the Lord Almighty.
“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices,(J) should I accept them from your hands?”(K) says the Lord.
