- 藐視我名的祭司阿、萬軍之耶和華對你們說、兒子尊敬父親、僕人敬畏主人.我既為父親、尊敬我的在那裡呢.我既為主人、敬畏我的在那裡呢。你們卻說、我們在何事上藐視你的名呢。
- 你們將污穢的食物獻在我的壇上、且說、我們在何事上污穢你呢.因你們說、耶和華的桌子、是可藐視的。
- 你們將瞎眼的獻為祭物、這不為惡麼.將瘸腿的有病的獻上、這不為惡麼.你獻給你的省長、他豈喜悅你、豈能看你的情面麼.這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
- 現在我勸你們懇求 神、他好施恩與我們。這妄獻的事、既由你們經手、他豈能看你們的情面麼。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
- 甚願你們中間有一人關上殿門、免得你們徒然在我壇上燒火。萬軍之耶和華說、我不喜悅你們、也不從你們手中收納供物。

- "Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you," says the LORD Almighty, "and I will accept no offering from your hands.
