Malachi 2:11-15
2:11 Judah has become disloyal, and unspeakable sins have been committed in Israel and Jerusalem.
For Judah has profaned
the holy things that the
Lord loves and has turned to a foreign god!
2:12 May the
Lord cut off from the community
of Jacob every last person who does this,
as well as the person who presents improper offerings to the
Lord who rules over all!
2:13 You also do this: You cover the altar of the Lord with tears as you weep and groan, because he no longer pays any attention to the offering nor accepts it favorably from you.
2:14 Yet you ask, “Why?” The Lord is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.
2:15 No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this. What did our ancestor do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.
