Malachi 1:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 Your own eyes shall see this and you shall say, The Lord is great and will be magnified over and beyond the border of Israel!(A)
6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a Father, where is My honor? And if I am a Master, where is the [reverent] fear due Me? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise My name. You say, How and in what way have we despised Your name?
7 By offering polluted food upon My altar. And you ask, How have we polluted it and profaned You? By thinking that the table of the Lord is contemptible and may be despised.
