Malachi 1:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² “But you are ^(A)profaning it by your saying, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled, and as for its fruit, its food is to be despised.’ ¹³ You also say, ‘See, ^[a]how ^(B)tiresome it is!’ And you view it as trivial,” says the Lord of armies, “and you bring what was taken by ^(C)robbery and what is ^(D)lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I ^(E)accept it from your hand?” says the Lord. ¹⁴ “But cursed be the ^(F)swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a ^(G)blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great ^(H)King,” says the Lord of armies, “and My name is ^[b](I)feared among the ^[c]nations.”
