The Priests’ Polluted Offerings

6 “A son ^ghonors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a ^hfather, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, ⁱO priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ 7 By offering polluted food upon my altar. But you say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ By saying that the Lord’s table may be despised.

12 But you profane it when you say that the Lord’s table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food, may be despised.
