6 |This is what the LORD of Armies says: A son honors his father, and a servant honors his master. So if I am a father, where is my honor? If I am a master, where is my respect? You priests despise my name. |But you ask, 'How have we despised your name?' 7 |You offer contaminated food on my altar. |But you ask, 'Then how have we contaminated you?' |When you say that the LORD's table may be despised. 8 When you bring a blind animal to sacrifice, isn't that wrong? When you bring a lame or a sick animal, isn't that wrong? Try offering it to your governor. Would he accept it from you? Would he welcome you?| asks the LORD of Armies.
