But ye, O priests, principally and first; the people next, by their examples; have profaned it; used it as a common thing, and valued it at a strange undervalue, as if neither excellent nor useful. Ye say; by your deportment you say so; perhaps you do not say so in words, this were two impudent indeed. The table of the Lord is polluted; not a sacred thing, or to be revered. His meat; either the meat which fell to the priests share, and was for them to live upon, this they despised; or else the portion which did belong to God himself, and was laid upon the altar; they were neither pleased with that the Lord did reserve to himself, nor with that he gave to them, but they found fault with both. Is contemptible; a poor, sordid allowance, scarce fit for meaner persons and less service.
