Haydock's commentary
Wicked; defective, Leviticus xxii. 21., and Malachias i. 7. Greek, "curtailed, or ill-acquired," (Calmet) or "do not bribe" God; (dorokopei. Grotius) as the word is used [in] 2 Machabees. God will not regard our gifts, to let our offences escape punishment, Isaias xlii. 1. (Calmet)
