Malachi 1:9-14
King James Version
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Malachi 1:9-14
New International Version
9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings(A) from your hands, will he accept(B) you?”—says the Lord Almighty.
10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors,(C) so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased(D) with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept(E) no offering(F) from your hands. 11 My name will be great(G) among the nations,(H) from where the sun rises to where it sets.(I) In every place incense(J) and pure offerings(K) will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty.
12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table(L) is defiled,’ and, ‘Its food(M) is contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’(N) and you sniff at it contemptuously,(O)” says the Lord Almighty.
“When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices,(P) should I accept them from your hands?”(Q) says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal(R) to the Lord. For I am a great king,(S)” says the Lord Almighty,(T) “and my name is to be feared(U) among the nations.(V)
