Malachi 1:6

Turning from the people to the priests, Jehovah asks, whereas His love to the people was so great, where was their love towards Him? If the priests, as they profess, regard Him as their Father (Isaiah 63:16) and Master, let them show the reality of their profession by love and reverential fear (Exodus 20:12; Luke 6:46). He addresses the priests because they ought to be leaders in piety to the rest of the people, whereas they are foremost in "despising His name."

Wherein have we despised, etc.—The same captious spirit of self-satisfied insensibility as prompted their question (Malachi 1:2), "Wherein hast Thou loved us?" They are blind alike to God's love and their own guilt.
