Malachi 1:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ “Now ask God to be kind to you, but he won’t accept you with such offerings,” says the Lord All-Powerful.

¹⁰ “I wish one of you would close the Temple doors so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you and will not accept your gifts,” says the Lord All-Powerful. ¹¹ “From the east to the west I will be honored among the nations. Everywhere they will bring incense and clean offerings to me, because I will be honored among the nations,” says the Lord All-Powerful.
