Matthew Poole and continuators on Malachi 1:12

12 ¶ But ye have profaned it, in that ye say , The table of the LORD is polluted , and the fruit thereof, even his meat is contemptible .

O Priests! principally and first, the people next by their Examples

used it as a common thing, and valued it at a strange undervalue, as if neither excellent or useful.

By your deportment you say so perhaps, you do not say so in words, this were too impudent indeed.

Not a sacred thing, or to be rever'd,

Either the Meat which fell to the Priests share, and was for them to live upon, this they despised, or else the portion which did belong to God himself, and was laid upon the Altar; they were neither pleased with that the Lord did reserve to himself, nor with that he gave to them, but they found fault with both.

A poor, sordid allowance, scarce fit for meaner persons, and less service.
