Malachi 2:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this: both the master and the servant out of the Tabernacle of Jacob, and him that [a]offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, and [b]covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with mourning: because the offering is no more regarded, neither received acceptably at your hands.
14 Yet ye say, [c]Wherein? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast transgressed: yet is she thy [d]companion, and the wife of thy [e]covenant.
