Malachi 2:13-16
13And this is another thing you do: You cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and groaning, because He no longer regards your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.
14Yet you ask, “Why?”
It is because the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.
15Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16“For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,”1 says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
