151But not oneH259 has 2doneH6213 so who has a remnantH7605 of the SpiritH7307. And 3whatH4100 did that oneH259 do while he was seekingH1245 a 4godlyH430 5offspringH2233? TakeH8104 heedH8104 then to your spiritH7307, and let noH408 one dealH898 6treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of your youthH5271. 16For 7I hateH8130 89divorceH7971,” saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “and 10him who coversH3680 his garmentH3830 with 1112wrongH2555,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. “So takeH8104 heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that you do not dealH898 treacherouslyH898.”
