Malachi 2:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ Do we not all share one father? Has not one God created us all? Why do we all act deceitfully with our brothers and sisters and soil the covenant between God and our ancestors? ¹¹ First of all, Judah has acted deceitfully, and an atrocity has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem because Judah has soiled the holy place of the Eternal One—His earthly throne which He loves—by marrying a daughter of a foreign god, by joining pagan families and worshiping pagan goddesses. ¹² May the Eternal One cut off from His community among the tents of Jacob the man who does this—the one stirring, answering,^[a] and presenting a grain offering to the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies.
