Verse 8

And if ye offer{H5066}{(H8686)} the blind{H5787} for sacrifice{H2076}{(H8800)}, is it not evil{H7451}? and if ye offer{H5066}{(H8686)} the lame{H6455} and sick{H2470}{(H8802)}, is it not evil{H7451}? offer{H7126}{(H8685)} it now unto thy governor{H6346}; will he be pleased{H7521}{(H8799)} with thee, or accept{H5375}{(H8799)} thy person{H6440}? saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.
