Malachi 2:10-12
Lexham English Bible
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!

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.
