Malachi 2:14-16

Tree of Life Version

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.
¹⁶ “For I hate^[a] divorce,”
—says Adonai the God of Israel—
“and the one who covers his garment with injustice,”
says Adonai-Tzva’ot.
So protect your spirit—do not act treacherously.
