- Chapter 1 opens with a series of questions and answers between Israel and God, with Israel basically asking “What have we done that’s so terrible?” and God responding “You cannot be serious.”
- The temple has been restored in Judah, but the priests violate God’s law by performing sacrificial rituals with unclean or damaged offerings.
- In the day of the Lord, all the nations of the world will honor me and yet my people think they can get away with this nonsense? That, saith the Lord, is not cool. I am the Lord.
