Because the LORD3068 hath been witness5749 between thee and the wife0802 of thy youth5271, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously0898: yet {is} she thy companion2278, and the wife0802 of thy covenant1285. 2:15 And did not he make6213 one0259? Yet had he the residue7605 of the spirit7307. And wherefore one0259? That he might seek1245 a godly0430 seed2233. Therefore take heed8104 to your spirit7307, and let none deal treacherously0898 against the wife0802 of his youth5271. 2:16 For the LORD3068, the God0430 of Israel3478, saith0559 that he hateth8130 putting away7971: for {one} covereth3680 violence2555 with his garment3830, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635: therefore take heed8104 to your spirit7307, that ye deal not treacherously0898. 2:17 Ye have wearied3021 the LORD3068 with your words1697. Yet ye say0559, Wherein have we wearied3021 {him}? When ye say0559, Every one that doeth6213 evil7451 {is} good2896 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, and he delighteth2654 in them; or, Where {is} the God0430 of judgment4941?
