we can't take this passage separately
always understand it in the context of which this issue (divorce) comes about
that is the unfaithfulness of Israel and of its covenanted people
divorce is an offshot of it
just as much we hate crimes in a peaceful negihborhood
just so for God, who promises his fidelity to His people,
to hate (in human terms) witnessing relationship falling apart
but He is God, and we are humans
He just can't stop to love us no matter what mess we make
And for that we are given freedom to decide
what's good for us-- even in divorce.
It's I think why He assures us to be "with us" till the end
for He knows we make more mess
and need even more graces
