Malachi 2:14-16

14Yet you sayH559, ‘For whatH4100 reasonH5921H4100?’ BecauseH5921H3588 the LordH3068 has been a witnessH5749 betweenH996 you and the 1wifeH802 of your youthH5271, against whomH834 you have dealtH898 2treacherouslyH898, though she is your companionH2278 and your wifeH802 by covenantH1285. 153But not oneH259 has 4doneH6213 so who has a remnantH7605 of the SpiritH7307. And 5whatH4100 did that oneH259 do while he was seekingH1245 a 6godlyH430 7offspringH2233? TakeH8104 heedH8104 then to your spiritH7307, and let noH408 one dealH898 8treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of your youthH5271. 16For 9I hateH8130 1011divorceH7971,” saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “and 12him who coversH3680 his garmentH3830 with 1314wrongH2555,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. “So takeH8104 heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that you do not dealH898 treacherouslyH898.”
