KJV ORIGINAL
Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
You've also said, 'Ugh, this is such a drag!' and you've totally dismissed it, says the Lord. You brought animals that were already torn up, limping, and sick as your offerings. Do you really think I should accept that from you?
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's not looking for your leftovers — he deserves your best, not whatever you don't want anyway.
