15 Has not the LORD made them one, having a portion of the Spirit {Ruach}? 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 {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God). “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your⁺ spirit {ruach} and do not break faith.

17 You⁺ have wearied the LORD {YHWH} with your⁺ words; yet you⁺ ask, “How have we wearied Him?” By saying, “All who do evil are good in the sight of the LORD, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God {Elohe} of justice?”
