Malachi 2:11-17

2:11

Judah
<03063>

hath dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_,

and an abomination
<08441>

is committed
<06213> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

for Judah
<03063>

hath profaned
<02490> (8765)

the holiness
<06944>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he loved
<0157> (8804)_,

and hath married
<01166> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of a strange
<05236>

god
<0410>_.

{loved: or, ought to love}

2:12

The LORD
<03068>

will cut off
<03772> (8686)

the man
<0376>

that doeth
<06213> (8799)

this, the master
<05782> (8802)

and the scholar
<06030> (8802)_,

out of the tabernacles
<0168>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and him that offereth
<05066> (8688)

an offering
<04503>

unto the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{the master...: or, him that waketh, and him that answereth}

2:13

And this have ye done
<06213> (8799)

again
<08145>_,

covering
<03680> (8763)

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

with tears
<01832>_,

with weeping
<01065>_,

and with crying out
<0603>_,

insomuch that he regardeth
<06437> (8800)

not the offering
<04503>

any more, or receiveth
<03947> (8800)

[it] with good will
<07522>

at your hand
<03027>_.

2:14

Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,

Wherefore
<04100>_?

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath been witness
<05749> (8689)

between thee and the wife
<0802>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

against whom thou hast dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_:

yet [is] she thy companion
<02278>_,

and the wife
<0802>

of thy covenant
<01285>_.

2:15

And did not he make
<06213> (8804)

one
<0259>_?

Yet had he the residue
<07605>

of the spirit
<07307>_.

And wherefore one
<0259>_?

That he might seek
<01245> (8764)

a godly
<0430>

seed
<02233>_.

Therefore take heed
<08104> (8738)

to your spirit
<07307>_,

and let none deal treacherously
<0898> (8799)

against the wife
<0802>

of his youth
<05271>_.

{residue: or, excellency} {godly...: Heb. seed of God} {treacherously: or, unfaithfully}

2:16

For the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

that he hateth
<08130> (8804)

putting away
<07971> (8763)_:

for [one] covereth
<03680> (8765)

violence
<02555>

with his garment
<03830>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_:

therefore take heed
<08104> (8738)

to your spirit
<07307>_,

that ye deal not treacherously
<0898> (8799)_.

{that he...: or, if he hate her, put her away} {putting...: Heb. to put away}

2:17

Ye have wearied
<03021> (8689)

the LORD
<03068>

with your words
<01697>_.

Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,

Wherein have we wearied
<03021> (8689)

[him]? When ye say
<0559> (8800)_,

Every one that doeth
<06213> (8802)

evil
<07451>

[is] good
<02896>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and he delighteth
<02654> (8804)

in them; or, Where [is] the God
<0430>

of judgment
<04941>_?
