Malachi 1:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 “But now [a]will you not (A)entreat God’s favor, that He may be gracious to us? [b]With such an offering on your part, will He (B)receive any of you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts. 10 “Oh that there were one among you who would (C)shut the [c]gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of hosts, “(D)nor will I accept an offering from [d]you. 11 For from the (E)rising of the sun even to its setting, (F)My name will be (G)great among the nations, and in every place (H)incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be (I)great among the nations,” says the Lord of hosts.

New International Version
9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings(A) from your hands, will he accept(B) you?”—says the Lord Almighty.
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(C) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(D) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(E) no offering(F) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(G) among the nations,(H) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(I) In every place incense(J) and pure offerings(K) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
