Malachi 2:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ If you ask the reason why,
    it is because the Lord stands as witness
    between you and the wife of your youth
with whom you have broken faith,
    even though she is your partner
    and your wife by a solemn covenant.
¹⁵ Did not the one God make her,
    both flesh and spirit?
And what does the one God require
    but God-given offspring?
Therefore, you must safeguard your own life,
    and let none of you be unfaithful
    to the wife of your youth.
¹⁶ For I hate divorce,
    says the Lord, the God of Israel,
as well as covering one’s garment with injustice,
    says the Lord of hosts.
Therefore, have respect for your own life,
    and do not be unfaithful.
