13You also say, ‘See, how tiresome it is!’ And you view it as trivial,' says the Lord of armies, 'and you bring what was taken by robbery and what is lame or sick; so you bring the offering! Should I accept it from your hand?' says the Lord. 14But cursed be the swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great King,' says the Lord of armies, 'and My name is feared among the nations.'King James Version
