15 [a]But not one has (A)done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And [b]why the one? He was seeking a (B)godly offspring. Be careful then about your spirit, and see that none of you deals (C)treacherously against the wife of your youth. 16 “For [c]I hate [d](D)divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and [e]him who covers his garment with (E)violence,” says the Lord of armies. “So be careful about your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
