Malachi 2:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ So I caused everyone to hate and despise you, because you disobeyed me and failed to treat all people alike.

A Broken Agreement

¹⁰ Don't you know that we all have God as our Father? Didn't the one God create each of us? Then why do you cheat each other by breaking the agreement God made with your ancestors? ¹¹ You people in Judah and Jerusalem have been unfaithful to the Lord. You have disgraced the temple that he loves, and you have committed the disgusting sin of marrying the worshipers of other gods.
