By bringing to my altar defiled breads. Yet you said, 'How have we defiled them?' By your saying, 'The table of the Lord is despised, and the foods set upon it are contemptible.'
The priests’ contempt is material as well as verbal: their offerings and their speech about the altar both profane the Lord’s table.
