Judah Unfaithful 10Have we not all one FatherOr father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another?11Judah has broken faith. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD loves, by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.12As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the LORD cut him off from the tents of JacobOr 12 May the LORD cut off from the tents of Jacob anyone who gives testimony in behalf of the man who does this—even though he brings offerings to the LORD Almighty. 13Another thing you do: You flood the LORD's altar with tears. You weep and wail because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.14You ask, “Why?” It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. 15Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring.Or 15 But the one {who is our father} did not do this, not as long as life remained in him. And what was he seeking? An offspring from God So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. 16“I hate divorce,” says the LORD God of Israel, “and I hate a man's covering himselfOr his wife with violence as well as with his garment,” says the LORD Almighty.So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
