Malachi 2:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ So I have made you despised and humiliated in the view of all the people, because you are not keeping my ways but are showing favoritism in carrying out the law.

Instruction From the Prophet:
The Covenant Is Broken by Divorce

¹⁰ Don’t we all have one Father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why then do we violate our vows to each other, polluting the covenant of our fathers? ¹¹ Judah has acted unfaithfully. A detestable thing was done in Israel and in Jerusalem when Judah polluted the holy place^[a] of the Lord, which the Lord loves. Judah is married to the daughter of a foreign god.
