He begins by reminding them of His love for them, and how He chose them to be His special people. He then goes on to rebuke them for their lack of reverence for Him and His name. He points out that they are offering Him less than their best, and that their offerings are not pleasing to Him. He also reminds them that He is a great and powerful God, and that He deserves their respect and honor. The Lord then goes on to warn the people of the consequences of their disobedience. He promises that if they do not repent and turn back to Him, He will bring judgment upon them. He also promises that if they do repent and turn back to Him, He will show them mercy and restore them to their former glory.
