Malachi 2:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Instruction From the Prophet:
The Covenant Is Broken by Divorce
10 Don’t we all have one Father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why then do we violate our vows to each other, polluting the covenant of our fathers? 11 Judah has acted unfaithfully. A detestable thing was done in Israel and in Jerusalem when Judah polluted the holy place[a] of the Lord, which the Lord loves. Judah is married to the daughter of a foreign god. 12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob any man who does this, both the one who is awake and the one who answers,[b] even if he brings an offering to the Lord of Armies!

- Malachi 2:12 Because the meaning of this phrase is uncertain, the EHV retains a literal translation. It seems to mean every last one of them. It may mean something like the one who does this knowingly, and the one who has been warned.
