Malachi 1:7 first mentions the despised Lord's table which 1:12 then says is profaned — showing the progression of the accusation.

Malachi 1:6 establishes the accusation of despising God's name — the root sin behind profaning the table in 1:12.

Malachi 2:8 expands the accusation to the priests' corruption of the covenant — a broader failure underlying profaning the table in 1:12.

Ezekiel 22:8 condemns despising holy things and profaning Sabbaths — the same offense as Malachi's priests.

Leviticus 22:25 prohibits blemished offerings from foreigners — directly related to the blemished sacrifices that Malachi condemns as despised food.

Leviticus 21:6 commands priests to be holy because they offer the Lord's food — a standard the priests in Malachi violate by despising that food.
