And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? Your earthly ruler would feel insulted if offered by you the offering with which ye put off God (see Leviticus 22:22; Leviticus 22:24, where God forbids such a blemished offering).
Is it not evil? Maurer translates, 'there is no evil,' in your opinion, in such an offering; it is quite good enough for such a purpose.
