Malachi 1:11

I am not pleased with you," says the Lord who rules over all, "and I will no longer accept an offering from you. ¹¹ For from the east to the west my name will be great among the nations. Incense and pure offerings will be offered in my name everywhere, for my name will be great among the nations," says the Lord who rules over all. ¹² "But you are profaning it by saying that the table of the Lord is common and its offerings despicable.
