15 Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit? And why one? Because He seeks godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.

16 "For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel. "He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,"*2:16 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.
