11 For (A)from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great (B)among the Gentiles;
(C)In every place (D)incense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
(E)For My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
(F)‘The table of the [a]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a (G)weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
(H)Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.
