Malachi 2:10-16
10Do we not allH3605 have 1oneH259 FatherH1? 2Is it not oneH259 GodH410 who has createdH1254 us? WhyH4069 do we dealH898 3treacherouslyH898, eachH376 against his brotherH251 so as to profaneH2490 the 4covenantH1285 of our fathersH1? 11JudahH3063 has dealtH898 5treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 has been committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 has 6profanedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944 of the LordH3068 7whichH834 He lovesH157, and has marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a foreignH5236 godH410. 12As for the manH376 whoH834 doesH6213 this, may the 8LordH3068 eliminateH3772 from the tentsH168 of JacobH3290 everyone who isH5782 awakeH5782 and answersH6030, or who 9presentsH5066 10an offeringH4503 to the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
13And thisH2088 is 11anotherH8145 thingH8145 you doH6213: you coverH3680 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065 and sighingH603, becauseH4480 He 12noH369 longerH5750 givesH6437 attentionH6437 to the 13offeringH4503 or acceptsH3947 it with favorH7522 from your handH3027. 14Yet you sayH559, “ForH5921 whatH4100 reasonH5921H4100?” BecauseH5921H3588 the LordH3068 has beenH5749 aH5749 witnessH5749 betweenH996 you and the 14wifeH802 of your youthH5271, against whomH834 you have dealtH898 15treacherouslyH898, though she is your marriageH2278 companionH2278 and your wifeH802 by covenantH1285. 1516But not oneH259 has 17doneH6213 so who has a remnantH7605 of the SpiritH7307. And 18whyH4100 the oneH259? He was seekingH1245 a 19godlyH430 offspringH2233. BeH8104 carefulH8104 then about your spiritH7307, and see that noneH408 of you dealsH898 20treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of your youthH5271. 16“For 21I hateH8130 2223divorceH7971,” saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “and 24him who coversH3680 his garmentH3830 with 25violenceH2555,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “So beH8104 carefulH8104 about your spiritH7307, that you do not dealH898 treacherouslyH898.”
