Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Malachi 1:12

_ _ Renewal of the charge in Malachi 1:7.

_ _ fruit ... meat — the offerings of the people. The “fruit” is the produce of the altar, on which the priests subsisted. They did not literally say, The Lord’s table is contemptible; but their acts virtually said so. They did not act so as to lead the people to reverence, and to offer their best to the Lord on it. The people were poor, and put off God with the worst offerings. The priests let them do so, for fear of offending the people, and so losing all gains from them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Malachi 1:6-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Malachi 1:12

But ye — O priests! And the people by your examples. Ye say — By your deportment. Is polluted — Not a sacred thing. His meat — Either the meat which fell to the priest's share, or the portion which was laid upon the altar.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Malachi 1:12

But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, (n) The table of the LORD [is] polluted; and the fruit thereof, [even] his meat, [is] contemptible.

(n) Both the priests and the people were infected with this error, that they did not regard what was offered: for they thought that God was as well content with the lean, as with the fat. But in the meantime they did not show the obedience to God which he required, and so committed impiety, and also showed their contempt of God, and covetousness.
