Verse 12
The priests of Malachi’s day were treating Yahweh’s reputation as common. The proof of this was their statements that the altar was defiled and the offerings on it were despised. Their attitude and their actions were wrong.
"Whenever we disregard or circumvent the Lord’s instructions and requirements, such as his requirements for elders and deacons, we profane his name and desecrate his worship." [Note: Clendenen, p. 281.]
