Malachi 2:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Judah’s Marital Unfaithfulness
10 Don’t all of us have one Father?(A) Didn’t one God create us?(B) Why then do we act treacherously against one another,(C) profaning(D) the covenant of our fathers?(E) 11 Judah has acted treacherously, and a detestable(F) thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned(G) the Lord’s sanctuary,[a](H) which He loves,(I) and has married the daughter of a foreign god.[b](J) 12 To the man who does this, may the Lord cut off(K) any descendants[c][d](L) from the tents of Jacob, even if they present an offering to the Lord of Hosts.

Yahweh Hates Faithlessness
10 Do we not all have[a] one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we unfaithful to one another,[b] profaning the covenant of our ancestors?[c] 11 Judah has been faithless, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign[d] god. 12 May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and who answers, and the one who brings an offering to Yahweh of hosts!
