Malachi 1:6

An Oracle Against The Temple Priesthood

⁵ The people of Israel will see this with their own eyes. They will say: Jehovah is mighty even outside the land of Israel! ⁶ “‘A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My respect?’ says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’ ⁷ This is how you despise me. You offer worthless food on my altar. Then you ask: 'How have we failed to respect you?' I tell you it is by showing contempt for my altar.
