Malachi 2:10-12
New American Standard Bible
Sin in the Family
10 Do we not all have (A)one Father? (B)Is it not one God who has 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 committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has (F)profaned the sanctuary of the Lord [a]which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. 12 As for the man who does this, may the (G)Lord eliminate from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and answers, or who (H)presents [b]an offering to the Lord of armies.

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.
