A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Un hijo respeta a su padre, y un empleado respeta a su jefe, eso es decencia humana básica. Entonces, si yo soy su Padre, ¿dónde está mi respeto? Si soy su Señor, ¿dónde está la reverencia? Esto es lo que el SEÑOR les dice a ustedes, sacerdotes, que han tratado mi nombre como si fuera nada. Y tienen la audacia de preguntar: '¿Cómo exactamente te hemos faltado el respeto?'
Dios confronta a los sacerdotes por faltarle el respeto mientras ellos niegan haber hecho algo malo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Malachi was a prophet speaking to the Jewish people in Judah around 450 BC, after their return from Babylonian exile, when the nation was struggling with spiritual apathy despite the temple's rebuilding. The priests, who were responsible for leading worship and offering sacrifices, had become negligent and were presenting defective offerings, which showed contempt for God's holiness. In this verse, God directly confronts the priests, questioning their lack of honor and fear toward Him as their Father and Master.
