1 Samuel 2:29

scorning my sacrifice and my offering that I commanded for my dwelling place?
You have honored your sons more than you have me by having made yourselves fat from the best parts of all the offerings of my people Israel.’
Exodus 29:27-28
29:27 You are to sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution,
which were waved and lifted up as a contribution from the ram of consecration, from what belongs to Aaron and to his sons.

Lord.

Malachi 2:13-15
2:13 You also do this: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears as you weep and groan, because he no longer pays any attention to the offering nor accepts it favorably from you.
2:14 Yet you ask, “Why?” The Lord is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.
2:15 No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this. What did our ancestor do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.
