Malachi 1:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 But you profane it when you say that the Lord’s table is polluted and its food[a] may be despised. 13 “What a weariness this is,” you say, and you sniff at it,[b] says the Lord of hosts. You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord.(A) 14 Cursed be the cheat who has a male in the flock and vows to give it and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished, for I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name is reverenced among the nations.(B)
