Malachi 2:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Judah has acted treacherously, and a detestable(A) thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned(B) the Lord’s sanctuary,[a](C) which He loves,(D) and has married the daughter of a foreign god.[b](E) 12 To the man who does this, may the Lord cut off(F) any descendants[c][d](G) from the tents of Jacob, even if they present an offering to the Lord of Hosts.
13 And this is another thing you do: you cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning,(H) because He no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.(I)
