Malachi 1 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Polluted Offerings
6 The son honoureth the father, and the servant his Lord: if then I be the father, where is my honour? And if I be the Lord, where is my fear: saith the Lord of hosts?
7 To you o Priests, that despise my name, & have said: Wherein have we despised thy name? You offer upon mine altar polluted bread: & you say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table of our Lord is contemptible.
8 If you offer the blind to be immolated, is it not evil? & if you offer the lame and the feeble is it not evil? Offer it to thy prince if it shall please him, or if he will receive thy face, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 And now beseech ye the face of God, that he may have mercy on you (for by your hand hath this been done) if by any means he will receive your faces, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Who is there among you, that will shut the doors, & will kindle fire on my altar for naught? I have no will in you, saith the Lord of hosts: and gift I will not receive of your hand.
