Malachi 1:12-14

New King James Version

¹² “But you profane it,
In that you say,
^(A)‘The table of the ^[a]Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
¹³ You also say,
‘Oh, what a ^(B)weariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
^(C)Should I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.
¹⁴ “But cursed be ^(D)the deceiver
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord ^(E)what is blemished—
For ^(F)I am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.
