Malachi 1:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Malachi 1:10

8 And ^awhen you offer the blind as a sacrifice,
Is it not evil?
And when you offer the lame and sick,
Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he ^baccept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.

9 “But now entreat God’s favor,
That He may be gracious to us.
^aWhile this is being done by your hands,
Will He accept you favorably?”
Says the Lord of hosts.

10 “Who is there even among you who would shut the doors,
^aSo that you would not kindle fire on My altar in vain?
I have no pleasure in you,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
^b“Nor will I accept an offering from your hands.

11 For ^afrom the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great ^bamong the Gentiles;
^cIn every place ^dincense shall be offered to My name,
And a pure offering;
^eFor My name shall be great among the nations,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

12 “But you profane it,
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.
