And if I am a master, where is the fear of Me?’ says Yahweh of hosts to you, O (D)priests who despise My name. But you say, ‘How have we despised Your name?’ 7 You are presenting (E)defiled [c](F)food upon My altar. But you say, ‘How have we defiled You?’ In that you say, ‘The (G)table of Yahweh is to be despised.’
