The word about one father and “the wife of your youth”

한 아버지와 어려서 취한 아내를 두고 이르는 말씀

Malachi 2:10–17: the text says, “Don’t we all have one father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers? Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god. The LORD will cut off the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob and him who offers an offering to the LORD of Armies.” It goes on, “This again you do: you cover the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand. Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant. Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. One who hates and divorces”, says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says the LORD of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful. You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the LORD’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’” WEB sets 2:10–12 inside no quotation marks of their own; it opens a quotation at 2:13, before “This again you do”, which it closes inside 2:16, and the one it opens there, before “Therefore pay attention”, it does not close. 2:10–15 and 2:17 carry no formula naming who speaks. The two editions read 2:16 otherwise: the Korean Revised Version reads 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와가 이르노니 나는 이혼하는 것과 학대로 옷을 가리우는 자를 미워하노라, the LORD, the God of Israel, hating divorce and the one who covers his garment with violence; in WEB the LORD says that one who hates and divorces covers his garment with violence, and WEB has no word that the LORD hates. This collection decides neither reading. The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 2:13 (여호와께서 다시는 너희의 헌물을 돌아보지도 아니하시며) and at 2:15 (여호와는 영이 유여하실찌라도), where WEB reads “he”; at 2:15 asks whether he did not make one (오직 하나를 짓지 아니하셨느냐), where WEB reads “Did he not make you one”; and at 2:12 reads 이 일을 행하는 사람에게 속한 자는, whoever belongs to the man who does this, where WEB reads “the man who does this”.

    10Don’t we all have one father? Hasn’t one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

    11Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

    12The LORD will cut off the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob and him who offers an offering to the LORD of Armies.

    13“This again you do: you cover the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.

    14Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.

    15Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

    16One who hates and divorces”, says the LORD, the God of Israel, “covers his garment with violence!” says the LORD of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.

    17You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in the LORD’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’
