Translation
“O that there were also one among you who would shut the doors that not kindle fire on my altar in vain,” says YHWH of Hosts, “I will not accept an offering from your hand. For from the rising of the sun until its setting my name will be great among the nations and in every place incense will be presented to my name, a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations,” says YHWH of Hosts. “But you are the ones who are profaning it when you say, ‘The table of the Lord is unclean and it’s fruit, it’s food is despised.’ But you say, ‘Behold such a burden!’ And you snort at it,” says YHWH of Hosts. “And you bring what has been violently stolen or is lame or sick. You bring this as an offering!? Will I accept it from your hand?” says YHWH.

Reflection
I need a little more time for the reflection. Come back tomorrow for the reflection.

Something to say?
