Malachi 2:13

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

And this have you done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, because he regards not the offering any more, or receives it with good will at your hand.

Verse 12 Read Chapter 2 Verse 14

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

With tears; viz., by occasion of your wives, whom you have put away, and who came to weep and lament before the altar. (Challoner) Though divorces were tolerated, (Matthew xix. 6.) the more virtuous did not approve of them, particularly when a wife was put away who had been married in youth. See ver. 10. Perhaps this corruption had crept in, like others, (Calmet) owing to the people's commerce with strangers. (Diod. in Photius.)
