Before all the people,
Because you have not kept My ways
But have shown bpartiality in the law.”

Treachery of Infidelity
10 aHave we not all one Father?
bHas not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?

11 Judah has dealt treacherously,
And an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem,
For Judah has aprofaned
The Lord’s holy institution which He loves:
He has married the daughter of a foreign god.

12 May the Lord cut off from the tents of Jacob
The man who does this, being1 awake and aware,
Yet awho brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
The man who does this, being1 awake and aware,
Yet awho brings an offering to the Lord of hosts!
13 And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
You cover the altar of the Lord with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
14 Yet you say, “For what reason?”
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and athe wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
bYet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.
Because the Lord has been witness
Between you and athe wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
bYet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.
