Malachi / Question
Question source
Malachi
Malachi accuses the priests of profaning God’s table by treating it as contemptible Malachi 1:12. They say the food is despised and bring what is taken by violence, lame, or sick Malachi 1:12–13. God calls this offering unacceptable Malachi 1:13.
12But you profane it, in that you say, The table of Yahweh is polluted, and the fruit of it, even its food, is contemptible.
13You say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and you have snuffed at it, says Yahweh of Hosts; and you have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering: should I accept this at your hand? says Yahweh.
