Humans everywhere expect honor and respect of one’s parents and other authorities. All homes and societies depend upon it. In Malachi 1:6-7, the Lord warns the priests that this applies to their honoring him as much as it does to any earthly authority.
Malachi 1:6-7 (NIV) 6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says the Lord Almighty. “It is you priests who show contempt for my name. “But you ask, ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’ 7 “By offering defiled food on my altar. “But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ “By saying that the Lord’s table is contemptible."
