Rh :And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
 * Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar;
 * And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee?
 * In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.
 * And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?
 * And if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?
 * Offer it now unto thy governor;
 * Will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.
 * And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us:
 * This hath been by your means:
 * Will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
 * Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought?
 * Neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought.
 * I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts,
 * Neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
 * For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same
 * My name shall be great among the Gentiles;
 * And in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering:
 * For my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
 * But ye have profaned it, in that ye say,
 * The table of the Lord is polluted;
 * And the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
