12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being [a]awake and aware,
Yet (A)who brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!

13 And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
14 Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and (B)the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
(C)Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.
