Malachi 1:13

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

You also say: ‘Oh, what a nuisance!’ And you turn up your nose at it,” says the LORD of Hosts. “You bring offerings that are stolen, lame, or sick! Should I accept these from your hands?” asks the LORD.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You say also, ‘Behold, what a weariness it is!’ and you have sniffed at it,” says Yahweh of Armies; “and you have brought that which was taken by violence, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand?” says Yahweh.
World English Bible (WEB)
Ye said{H559}{(H8804)} also, Behold, what a weariness{H4972} is it! and ye have snuffed{H5301}{(H8689)} at it, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; and ye brought{H935}{(H8689)} that which was torn{H1497}{(H8803)}, and the lame{H6455}, and the sick{H2470}{(H8802)}; thus ye brought{H935}{(H8689)} an offering{H4503}: should I accept{H7521}{(H8799)} this of your hand{H3027}? saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}.
Strong's King James
(13) You also say, 'Look, it's such a hardship!' And you breathe out flames אֵת at it," says יהוה Yahweh-Tzva'ot! "And you bring what was robbed, אֵת the lame together with אֵת the sick and you lead it אֵת to the thanksgiving offering! Should I take pleasure אֵת in that from your hand?" Says יהוה Yahweh.

The F.O.G Paraphrase
And ye have said, ‘Lo, what a weariness,’ And ye have puffed at it, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have brought in plunder, And the lame and the sick, And ye have brought in the present! Do I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah.
