For I hate putting away, Saith the LORD, the God of Israel, And him that covereth his garment with violence, Saith the LORD of hosts; Therefore take heed to your spirit, That ye deal not treacherously.
“For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence (note: Or “For the man who hates his wife and divorces her,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence,”),” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith.
