Malachi 1:14
The deceiver - The hypocrite that would seem to offer a sacrifice of the best, but puts God off with the worst. A male - A perfect male, such as God requireth.
12 “But you profane it,
In that you say,
a‘The table of the1 Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
In that you say,
a‘The table of the1 Lord is defiled;
And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’
13 You also say,
‘Oh, what a aweariness!’
And you sneer at it,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
“And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick;
Thus you bring an offering!
bShould I accept this from your hand?”
Says the Lord.

14 “But cursed be athe deceiver
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord bwhat is blemished—
For cI am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.
Who has in his flock a male,
And takes a vow,
But sacrifices to the Lord bwhat is blemished—
For cI am a great King,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“And My name is to be feared among the nations.
