Malachi 2:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 As for the man who does this, may the (A)Lord eliminate from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and answers, or who (B)presents [a]an offering to the Lord of armies.
13 And this is [b]another thing you do: you cover the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and sighing, because He (C)no longer gives attention to the [c]offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. 14 Yet you say, “For what reason?” Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the (D)wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt (E)treacherously, though she is your marriage companion and your wife by covenant.

Malachi 2:12-14
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)
