Malachi 2:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² I pray that the Lord will remove all people like that from among his people. Not one of them will continue to belong to the family of Jacob.^[a] They will no longer be able to offer gifts to the Lord Almighty.

¹³ Also, you weep so much that your tears cover the Lord's altar! You cry because the Lord no longer accepts your gifts. He is not happy with the gifts that you offer to him.

¹⁴ You ask, ‘Why is the Lord not happy with our gifts?’ The Lord knows that you men have not done the right thing with your wives. When you married as a young man, you promised to take care of your wife always. But you have sent her away, when the law says that you must stay with her as your wife.
