15 No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this. What did our ancestor do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.

16 I hate divorce,| says the LORD God of Israel, |and the one who is guilty of violence,| says the LORD who rules over all. |Pay attention to your conscience, and do not be unfaithful.|

17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, |How have we wearied him?| Because you say, |Everyone who does evil is good in the Lord's opinion, and he delights in them,| or |Where is the God of justice?|
