* Have ye not all one father ? Did not one God create you ? why have ye forsaken every man his brother , to profane the covenant of your fathers ? * Juda has been forsaken , and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem ; for Juda has profaned the holy things of the Lord , which he delighted in , and has gone after other gods . * The Lord will utterly destroy the man that does these things , until he be even cast down from out of the tabernacles of Jacob , and from among them that offer sacrifice to the Lord Almighty . * And these things which I hated , ye did : ye covered with tears the altar of the Lord , and with weeping and groaning because of troubles : is it meet for me to have respect to your sacrifice , or to receive anything from your hands as welcome ? * Yet ye said , Wherefore ? Because the Lord has borne witness between thee and the wife of thy youth , whom thou has forsaken , and yet she was thy partner , and the wife of thy covenant . * And did he not do well ? and there was the residue of his spirit . But ye said , What does God seek but a seed ? But take ye heed to your spirit , and forsake not the wife of thy youth . * But if thou shouldest hate thy wife and put her away , saith the Lord God of Israel , then ungodliness shall cover thy thoughts , saith the Lord Almighty : therefore take ye heed to your spirit , and forsake them not ,
