Malachi 2:9-11
New King James Version
9 “Therefore (A)I also have made you contemptible and base
Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown (B)partiality in the law.”
Treachery of Infidelity
10 (C)Have we not all one Father?
(D)Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?
11 Judah has dealt treacherously,
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has (E)profaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.
