Deception » Deceivers
You destroy those who speak falsehood. Jehovah abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
For many deceivers have gone into the world. They do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
But You, O God, will bring them down to the corruption of the grave. Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.
This is like a mad man who throws firebrands, arrows, and death. So is the man who deceives his neighbor, and says: I was only joking.
Curse those who do not do Jehovah's work with all their heart! Curse those who do not slash and kill!
The cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me will be cursed. For he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! I am a great King, Jehovah of Hosts declares. People of all nations will respect my name!

This is because it will not be acceptable for you. read more.

Whether it is from the cattle, sheep, or goats, it must be an animal that has no defects in order to be acceptable. It must never be an animal that has defects. Do not bring Jehovah an animal that is blind, has broken bones, cuts, warts, scabs, or ringworm. Never give Jehovah any of these in a sacrifice by fire on the altar. You may use a bull or a sheep with a deformity or one that is stunted in growth as a freewill offering. However, it will not be accepted for a vow.
