Malachi 2:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 To the man who does this, may the Lord cut off(A) any descendants[a][b](B) from the tents of Jacob, even if they present an offering to the Lord of Hosts.
13 And this is another thing you do: you cover 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 Yet you ask, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been a witness(E) between you and the wife of your youth.(F) You have acted treacherously against her, though she was your marriage partner(G) and your wife by covenant.(H)

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)
