Malachi 2:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Isn’t there one father for all of us,
    one God who created us?
Why does everyone cheat each other
    to make the covenant
        of our ancestors impure?
¹¹ Judah cheated—
        a detestable thing was done in Israel and Jerusalem.
    Judah made the Lord’s holy place impure, which God loved,
        and married the daughter of a foreign god.
¹² May the Lord eliminate anyone who does so from the tents of Jacob,
        anyone awaking, testifying,^[a]
        and making an offering to the Lord of heavenly forces.
