Malachi 2:14-16
14Yet you sayH559, “ForH5921 whatH4100 reasonH5921H4100?” BecauseH5921H3588 the LordH3068 has beenH5749 aH5749 witnessH5749 betweenH996 you and the 1wifeH802 of your youthH5271, against whomH834 you have dealtH898 2treacherouslyH898, though she is your marriageH2278 companionH2278 and your wifeH802 by covenantH1285. 153But not oneH259 has 4doneH6213 so who has a remnantH7605 of the SpiritH7307. And 5whyH4100 the oneH259? He was seekingH1245 a 6godlyH430 offspringH2233. BeH8104 carefulH8104 then about your spiritH7307, and see that noneH408 of you dealsH898 7treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of your youthH5271. 16“For 8I hateH8130 910divorceH7971,” saysH559 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “and 11him who coversH3680 his garmentH3830 with 12violenceH2555,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “So beH8104 carefulH8104 about your spiritH7307, that you do not dealH898 treacherouslyH898.”
