29Why do you scorn my sacrifice and my offering, which I commanded for the dwelling, and honor your sons above me, fattening yourselves from the first of every offering of Israel, my people?

30Therefore, declares Yahweh, the God of Israel: I indeed said that your house and your father’s house would walk before me forever. But now, declares Yahweh: far be it from me! For those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be lightly esteemed.
