Malachi 1:13-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ You say also, Behold, what a drudgery and weariness this is! And you have sniffed at it, says the Lord of hosts. And you have brought that which was ^[a]taken by violence, or the lame or the sick; this you bring as an offering! Shall I accept this from your hand? says the Lord.^(A)

¹⁴ But cursed is the [cheating] deceiver who has a male in his flock and vows to offer it, yet sacrifices to the [sovereign] Lord a blemished or diseased thing! For I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and My name is terrible and to be [reverently] feared among the nations.
