Malachi 2:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
12 May the Lord cut off(A) from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, whoever he may be,[a](B) even if he presents an offering to the Lord of Armies.
13 This is another thing you do. You are covering the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning,(C) because he no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.(D)
14 And you ask, “Why?” Because even though the Lord has been a witness(E) between you and the wife of your youth,(F) you have acted treacherously against her. She was your marriage partner(G) and your wife by covenant.(H)
