Malachi 2:10-12
New Living Translation
A Call to Faithfulness
10 Are we not all children of the same Father? Are we not all created by the same God? Then why do we betray each other, violating the covenant of our ancestors?
11 Judah has been unfaithful, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. The men of Judah have defiled the Lord’s beloved sanctuary by marrying women who worship idols. 12 May the Lord cut off from the nation of Israel[a] every last man who has done this and yet brings an offering to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Judah Profaned Yahweh’s Sanctuary
10 “Do we not all have (A)one father? (B)Has not one God created us? Why do we deal (C)treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the (D)covenant of our fathers? 11 Judah has dealt (E)treacherously, and an abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has (F)profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh [a]which He loves and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, may (G)Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob everyone who awakes and answers or who (H)presents [b]an offering to Yahweh of hosts.
