Malachi 2:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Didn’t he make her^[a] the one^[b]
    and the remnant of his spirit?^[c]
    What is the one?
        The one seeking godly offspring.
You should guard your own spirit.
    Don’t cheat on the wife of your youth
¹⁶         because he hates divorce,
says the Lord God of Israel,
            and he also hates the one covering his garment with violence,^[d]
says the Lord of heavenly forces.
        Guard your own life, and don’t cheat.

¹⁷ You have made the Lord tired with your words.
You say, “How have we made him tired?”
    When you say:
        “Anyone doing evil is good in the Lord’s eyes,”
        or “He delights in those doing evil,”^[e]
        or “Where is the God of justice?”
