Malachi 1:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ “I wish one of you would close the Temple doors so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you and will not accept your gifts,” says the Lord All-Powerful. ¹¹ “From the east to the west I will be honored among the nations. Everywhere they will bring incense and clean offerings to me, because I will be honored among the nations,” says the Lord All-Powerful.

¹² “But you don’t honor me. You say about the Lord’s altar, ‘It is unclean, and the food has no worth.’
