Malachi 1:6 in Context — Malachi 1
4 Ainda que Edom diga: Fomos devastados, mas voltaremos a edificar as ruínas; assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eles edificarão, e eu destruirei; e serão chamados de “território da perversidade” e “povo contra quem o SENHOR está irado para sempre”.
5 E vossos olhos verão, e direis: Seja o SENHOR engrandecido até além do território de Israel!
6 O filho honra ao pai, e o servo a seu senhor; se pois sou eu pai, onde está minha honra? E se sou senhor, onde está o temor a mim?,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos a vós, sacerdotes, que desprezais o meu nome. Mas vós dizeis: Em que temos desprezado o teu nome?
7 Quando trazeis sobre meu altar pão contaminado. E dizeis: Em que te contaminamos? Quando dizeis: A mesa do SENHOR é desprezível.
8 E quando trazeis [animal] cego para o sacrifício, isso não é mal? E quando trazeis o aleijado ou o enfermo, isso não é mal? Apresenta isso a teu governador; por acaso ele se agradará de ti, ou ele te aceitará? diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
