Malachi 1:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ And your eyes will see this, and you will say, “^(A)The Lord ^[a]be exalted beyond the ^[b]border of Israel!”

Sin of the Priests

⁶ “‘A son ^(B)honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a ^(C)father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My ^[c]respect?’ says the Lord of armies to you, the ^(D)priests who despise My name! But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’ ⁷ You are presenting ^(E)defiled ^[d](F)food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The ^(G)table of the Lord is to be despised.’
