Malachi 1:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Your eyes will see it and you will say,
“May the Lord be great beyond the borders of Israel.”
Honoring the Lord
6 A son honors a father,
and a servant honors his master.
But if I’m a father, where is my honor?
Or if I’m a master, where is my respect?
says the Lord of heavenly forces
to you priests who despise my name.
So you say, “How have we despised your name?”
7 By approaching my altar with polluted food.
But you say, “How have we polluted it[a]?”
When you say, “The table of the Lord can be despised.”
