Malachi 2:16-17
Common English Bible
16 because he hates divorce,
says the Lord God of Israel,
and he also hates the one covering his garment with violence,[a]
says the Lord of heavenly forces.
Guard your own life, and don’t cheat.
Purifying judgment
17 You have made the Lord tired with your words.
You say, “How have we made him tired?”
When you say:
“Anyone doing evil is good in the Lord’s eyes,”
or “He delights in those doing evil,”[b]
or “Where is the God of justice?”
