Malachi 1:12-14
King James Version
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

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.
