14 oYet ye say, Wherefore?
Because pthe Lord hath been witness between thee and qthe wife of thy youth,
Against whom thou hast cdealt treacherously:
Yet is she rthy companion, and rthe wife of thy covenant.
15 And sdid not he make one? Yet had he the ||residue of the spirit.
And wherefore one? That he might seek †ta godly seed.
uTherefore take heed to your spirit,
And let none cdeal ||treacherously against qthe wife of his youth.
16 For vthe Lord, the God of Israel, saith ||that he hateth †putting away:
For one covereth violence wwith his garment, saith the Lord of hosts:
uTherefore take heed to your spirit, that ye cdeal not treacherously.
