⁷ “‘They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands,^(A) because priests are holy to their God.^(B)

¹³ “‘The woman he marries must be a virgin.^{(A) 14} He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people,

²² They must not marry widows or divorced women; they may marry only virgins of Israelite descent or widows of priests.^(A)

⁸ Regard them as holy,^(A) because they offer up the food of your God.^(B) Consider them holy, because I the Lord am holy—I who make you holy.^(C)

¹¹ In the same way, the women^[a] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers^(A) but temperate^(B) and trustworthy in everything.

Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience

50 This is what the Lord says:

24 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him^(A) because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce,^(B) gives it to her and sends her from his house, ² and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, ³ and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, ⁴ then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord^(C) your God is giving you as an inheritance.
