The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
Ver. 9. The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off] Periit libatio et oblatio. This was the godly man's greatest grief, that there wanted matter of testifying their thankfulness to God in his commanded worships; and that God was so deeply displeased, as that he had deprived himself and his ministers of the due allowance; so that they also mourned, and could not cheerfully execute their office, for lack of maintenance; for they were not of the chameleon kind.
