Malachi 2:15 in Context — Malachi 2
13 Também fazeis esta segunda coisa: cobris o altar do SENHOR de lágrimas, de pranto, e de gemidos; por isso ele não dará mais atenção à oferta, nem a aceitará com prazer de vossa mão.
14 Vós dizeis: Por que razão? Porque o SENHOR foi testemunha entre ti e a mulher de tua juventude, contra a qual tu tens traído, sendo ela a tua companheira, e a mulher de teu pacto.
15 E não fez ele somente um ainda que lhe sobre o espírito? E por que um? Para buscar uma descendência de Deus. Guardai-vos pois em vosso espírito, e ninguém de vós seja infiel à mulher de vossa juventude.
16 Porque o SENHOR Deus de Israel diz que ele odeia o divórcio, e [quem] cobre a sua roupa de violência, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Guardai-vos pois em vosso espírito, e não sejais infiéis.
17 Cansais ao SENHOR com vossas palavras. E ainda dizeis: Em que nós [o] cansamos? Quando dizeis: Qualquer um que faz o mal é bom aos olhos ao SENHOR, que se agrada deles; ou: Onde está o Deus do juízo?
