Malachi 1:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Your own eyes will see this, and you will say,
    “Great is the Lord,
    even beyond the borders of Israel.”

⁶ A son honors his father,
    and a servant fears his master.
If then I am a father,
    where is the honor due to me?
So says the Lord of hosts
    to you priests who despise my name.
You ask, “How have we despised your name?”
⁷     By offering polluted food on my altar.
Then you ask, “How have we polluted it?”
    By thinking that the table of the Lord may be despised.
