Malachi:2:11-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Judah hath dealt treacherously ,
and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem ;
for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved ,
and hath married the daughter of a strange god .
*
The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this ,
the master and the scholar ,
out of the tabernacles of Jacob ,
and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts .
*
And this have ye done again ,
covering the altar of the LORD with tears ,
with weeping ,
and with crying out ,
insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more ,
or receiveth it with good will at your hand .
*
Yet ye say ,
Wherefore ?
Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth ,
against whom thou hast dealt treacherously :
yet is she thy companion ,
and the wife of thy covenant .
