Malachi 2:14-15
Legacy Standard Bible
14 But you say, ‘For what reason?’ Because Yahweh has been a witness between you and the (A)wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt (B)treacherously, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. 15 [a]But not one has (C)done so, even one who has a remnant of the Spirit. And [b]what did that one do while he was seeking a (D)godly seed? Be careful then to keep your spirit, and let no one deal (E)treacherously against the wife of your youth.

Malachi 2:14-15
New International Version
14 You ask,(A) “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness(B) between you and the wife of your youth.(C) You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.(D)
15 Has not the one God made you?(E) You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.[a](F) So be on your guard,(G) and do not be unfaithful(H) to the wife of your youth.
