Malachi 1:9

And now entreat the favor of God , that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand , will he show favor to any of you? says the Lord of hosts .

“Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?”—says the Lord Almighty.

And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means : will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
