Malachi 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Judah hath transgressed, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: for Israel hath defiled the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the [a]daughter of a strange god.
12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the servant out of the Tabernacle of Jacob, and him that [b]offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, and [c]covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither received acceptably at your hands.

Malachi 2:11-13
New International Version
11 Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable(A) thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves(B) by marrying(C) women who worship a foreign god.(D) 12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove(E) him from the tents of Jacob[a](F)—even though he brings an offering(G) to the Lord Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears.(H) You weep and wail(I) because he no longer looks with favor(J) on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.(K)
