Malachi 1:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² But you are profaning it when you say, “The table of Adonai is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food—despicable!” ¹³ You also say, “It’s so tedious!”

“And you sniff at it,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot. “So you bring plunder, the lame and the sick. Then you bring them as the offering. Should I accept this from your hand?” says Adonai.

¹⁴ “Moreover, cursed is a deceiver who has in his flock a male, but makes a vow and sacrifices something blemished to my Lord. For I am a great King,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “and My Name shall be revered among the nations.”
