Malachi 2:12-14
English Standard Version Anglicised
12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob any descendant[a] of the man who does this, who (A)brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
13 And this second thing you do. (B)You cover the Lord's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favour from your hand. 14 (C)But you say, “Why does he not?” Because the Lord (D)was witness between you and the wife of your youth, (E)to whom (F)you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

New International Version
12 As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove(A) him from the tents of Jacob[a](B)—even though he brings an offering(C) to the Lord Almighty.
13 Another thing you do: You flood the Lord’s altar with tears.(D) You weep and wail(E) because he no longer looks with favor(F) on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.(G) 14 You ask,(H) “Why?” It is because the Lord is the witness(I) between you and the wife of your youth.(J) You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.(K)
