The LORD’s word that the priests offer the blind, the lame, and the sick

제사장들이 눈 먼 희생과 저는 것과 병든 것을 드린다는 여호와의 말씀

Malachi 1:6–14: “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the LORD of Armies “to you priests who despise my name”. He goes on, “You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ You offer polluted bread on my altar. You say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ In that you say, ‘The LORD’s table is contemptible.’ When you offer the blind for sacrifice, isn’t that evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, isn’t that evil? Present it now to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” says the LORD of Armies. “Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says the LORD of Armies. “Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you,” says the LORD of Armies, “neither will I accept an offering at your hand. For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations,” says the LORD of Armies. “But you profane it when you say, ‘The LORD’s table is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.’ You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ And you have sniffed at it”, says the LORD of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says the LORD. “But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male, and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing; for I am a great King,” says the LORD of Armies, “and my name is awesome among the nations.” Neither edition names the governor of 1:8. The Korean Revised Version calls the priests at the opening of 1:6 (내 이름을 멸시하는 제사장들아), before the first words; reads 주의 상, the Lord’s table, at 1:7; at 1:9 has the LORD speak of himself in the first person (너희는 나 하나님께 은혜를 구하기를 … 내가 너희 중 하나인들 받겠느냐), where WEB reads “God” and “he”; reads 성전 문, the doors of the temple, at 1:10; puts 1:11 in the future (이방 민족 중에서 내 이름이 크게 될 것이라); and at 1:14 has the defective thing offered 내게, to the one who speaks, where WEB reads “to the Lord”.
