Malachi 1:6-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Disobedience of the Priests

⁶ ‘A son honours his father, and a servant his master. But if I am a father, where is my honour? And if I am a master, where is your fear of me?^(A) says the Lord of Armies to you priests, who despise my name.’

Yet you ask, ‘How have we despised your name? ’

⁷ ‘By presenting defiled food on my altar.’

‘How have we defiled you? ’ you ask.^(B)

When you say, ‘The Lord’s table is contemptible.’^(C)
