Malachi 2:
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, says that he hates putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
"He hates putting away:"
This refers to the age old practice of wealthy, powerful men
dumping their wives for younger trophies. (see DJ Trump as
a present high profile example).
This is widely overlooked in the proper comprehension of this narrative.
Matthew 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
If a high profile Christian in particular, who has received wealth and fame
puts away his wife for a younger woman,
he should know that this is something that the Lord hates
to a degree you do not want to explore. Why do you think
unfaithfulness and adultery are used to explain how God
feels about those who brazenly and publicly flaunt His Covenant?
