Malachi 1:13-14
Legacy Standard Bible
13 You also say, ‘Behold, how (A)tiresome it is!’ And you disdainfully sniff at it,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and you bring what was taken by (B)robbery and what is (C)lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I (D)accept that from your hand?” says Yahweh. 14 “But cursed be the (E)swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a [a](F)blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great (G)King,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and My name is [b](H)feared among the [c]nations.”
