The WORD of The LORD


Have we not all the one Father?
Has not the one God created us?
Why then do we break faith with each other,
violating the covenant of our fathers?!

Judah has broken faith; an abominable thing has been done in Israel and Jerusalem.
Judah has profaned the temple which the LORD Loves,
and has married an idolatrous woman.

May the Lord cut off from the man who does this
both witness and advocate out of the tents of Jacob
and anyone to offer sacrifices  to the Lord of Hosts!

This also you do: the altar of the Lord you cover
with tears, weeping and groaning,
Because he no longer regards your sacrifice
nor accepts it favorably from your hand
;

And you say, "Why is this?"--
Because the Lord is witness
between you and the wife of your youth,
With whom you have broken faith
though she is your companion, your betrothed wife.

Did he not make one being, with flesh and spirit:
and what does the one require but godly offspring?

You must then safeguard life that is your own,
and not break faith with the wife of your youth.

For I hate divorce,
says THE LORD, The God of Israel,
And covering one's garment with injustice,
says the Lord of Hosts;
You must then safeguard life that is your own,
And not break with it.

You have wearied the Lord with your words,
yet you say, "How have we wearied him?"

By your saying, "Every evildoer is good in the sight of the Lord,
And he is pleased with him",
or else, "Where is the just God?"

-Malachi 3: 10-17
