Malachi 2:13-15

Tree of Life Version

¹³ Secondly, you do this:
Tears cover the altar of Adonai—
you are weeping and groaning
because He no longer accepts the offering
or receives it favorably from your hand.
¹⁴ Yet you say, “Why?”
Because Adonai bears witness
    between you and the wife of your youth,
    whom you have treated deceitfully.
Yet she had been your companion
    and your wife by covenant.
¹⁵ Did the One not make her with a remnant of Ruach?
Then what is the One seeking?
Offspring of God!
So protect your spirit—
do not betray the wife of your youth.
