I'm not pleased with you," says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, "and I'll accept no offerings from you. 11 Even so, from where the sun rises to where it sets my name will be great among the Gentiles. Incense will be brought to me everywhere, along with pure offerings, because my name will be great among the Gentiles," says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies.
