H559
Yet ye say
[H8804]
H4100
, Wherefore
H3068
? Because the LORD
H5749
hath been witness
[H8689]
H802
between thee and the wife
H5271
of thy youth
H898
, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously
[H8804]
H2278
: yet is she thy companion
H802
, and the wife
H1285
of thy covenant.

H6213
And did not he make
[H8804]
H259
one
H7605
? Yet had he the residue
H7307
of the spirit
H259
. And wherefore one
H1245
? That he might seek
[H8764]
H430
a godly
H2233
seed
H8104
. Therefore take heed
[H8738]
H7307
to your spirit
H898
, and let none deal treacherously
[H8799]
H802
against the wife
H5271
of his youth.

For the LORD
H430
, the God
H3478
of Israel
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H8130
that he hateth
[H8804]
H7971
putting away
[H8763]
H3680
: for one covereth
[H8765]
H2555
violence
H3830
with his garment
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H8104
: therefore take heed
[H8738]
H7307
to your spirit
H898
, that ye deal not treacherously
[H8799]
.
ERV(i)
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the spirit? And wherefore one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For I hate putting away, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
