Malachi 2:14-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ But you say, ‘For what reason?’ Because Yahweh has been a witness between you and the ^(A)wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt ^(B)treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. ^15 [a]But not one has ^(C)done so, even one who has a remnant of the Spirit. And ^[b]what did that one do while he was seeking a ^(D)godly seed? Be careful then to keep your spirit, and let no one deal ^(E)treacherously against the wife of your youth. ¹⁶ For ^[c]I hate ^[d](F)divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and ^[e]him who covers his garment with ^[f](G)wrong,” says Yahweh of hosts. “Be careful then to keep your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
