And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [ye say,] It is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, It is no evil! Present it now to thy governor. Will he be pleased with thee, or will he accept thy person? says LORD of hosts.

Yet ye say, Why? Because LORD has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou have dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Your words have been stout against me, says LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?
