1:7-8 - 'By offering defiled food on my altar.

'But you ask, "How have we defiled you?"

'By saying that the Lord's table is contemptible. ⁸When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?' says the Lord Almighty.

It is easy to assert that we love. Yet nothing betrays the true state of out hearts than what we actually offer to those whom we claim to love. "How have we shown contempt for your name?" the priests dared ask.
