Malachi 2:13-16
13“ThisH2088 is 1anotherH8145 thingH8145 you doH6213: you coverH3680 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065 and with groaningH603, becauseH4480 He 2noH369 longerH5750 regardsH6437 the 3offeringH4503 or acceptsH3947 it with favorH7522 from your handH3027. 14Yet you sayH559, ‘For whatH4100 reasonH5921H4100?’ BecauseH5921H3588 the LordH3068 has been a witnessH5749 betweenH996 you and the 4wifeH802 of your youthH5271, against whomH834 you have dealtH898 5treacherouslyH898, though she is your companionH2278 and your wifeH802 by covenantH1285. 156But not oneH259 has 7doneH6213 so who has a remnantH7605 of the SpiritH7307. And 8whatH4100 did that oneH259 do while he was seekingH1245 a 9godlyH430 10offspringH2233? TakeH8104 heedH8104 then to your spiritH7307, and let noH408 one dealH898 11treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of your youthH5271. 16For 12I hateH8130 1314divorceH7971,” saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “and 15him who coversH3680 his garmentH3830 with 1617wrongH2555,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. “So takeH8104 heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that you do not dealH898 treacherouslyH898.”
