Malachi 1:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² But you dishonor me when you say that my altar is worthless and when you offer on it food that you despise. ¹³ You say, ‘How tired we are of all this!’ and you turn up your nose at me. As your offering to me you bring a stolen animal or one that is lame or sick. Do you think I will accept that from you? ¹⁴ A curse on the cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me, when he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! For I am a great king, and people of all nations fear me.”
