Should I accept these? 14 Instead of offering the acceptable animals you have promised, you bring me those that are unhealthy. I will punish you for this, because I am the great King, the Lord All-Powerful, and I am worshiped by nations everywhere.

For I am a great king,(F)” says the Lord Almighty,(G) “and my name is to be feared(H) among the nations.(I)
