«لأَنَّهُ يَكْرَهُ الطَّلاَقَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنْ يُغَطِّيَ أَحَدٌ الظُّلْمَ بِثَوْبِهِ، قَالَ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. فَاحْذَرُوا لِرُوحِكُمْ لِئَلاَّ تَغْدُرُوا».

There are two great ordinances which divine wisdom has instituted, the wretched profanation of both of which is complained of and sharply reproved in this chapter. I. The ordinance of the ministry, which is peculiar to the church, and is designed for the maintaining and keeping up of that; this was profaned by those who were themselves dignified with the honour of it and entrusted with the business of it. The priests profaned the holy things of God; this they are here charged with; their sin is aggravated, and they are severely threatened for it (Mal 2:1-9). II. The ordinance of marriage, which is common to the world of mankind, and was instituted for the maintaining and keeping up of that; this was profaned both by the priests and by the people, in marrying strangers (Mal 2:11, Mal 2:12), treating their wives unkindly (Mal 2:13), putting them away (Mal 2:16), and herein dealing treacherously (Mal 2:10, Mal 2:14, Mal 2:15). And that which was at the bottom of this and other instances of profaneness and downright atheism, thinking God altogether such a one as themselves, which was, in effect, to say, There is no God (Mal 2:17). And these reproofs to them are warnings to us.
افتح المصدر ↗2:16 hate: God hates a broken covenant (see 1:3; Hos 9:15). This is appropriate because God’s relationship with people is characterized by faithfulness, and he expected no less from Israel (Exod 34:6; Deut 7:9). • To divorce (literally send away) means to expel a marriage partner. Malachi wanted to correct the abuse of the divorce laws (see Deut 24:1-4). • to overwhelm her with cruelty: Cruelty entails acts of violence or wrongdoing. The estrangement of divorce is a violent and cruel social crime. To divorce one’s wife is treachery against her and against the marriage covenant. It breaks the heart, destroys relationships, violates the integrity of the family, damages the children’s well-being, and puts the future in jeopardy.

كُلُّ مَنْ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُخْرَى يَزْنِي، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِمُطَلَّقَةٍ مِنْ رَجُل يَزْنِي.
مَنْ يَكْتُمُ خَطَايَاهُ لاَ يَنْجَحُ، وَمَنْ يُقِرُّ بِهَا وَيَتْرُكُهَا يُرْحَمُ.
هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أَيْنَ كِتَابُ طَلاَقِ أُمِّكُمُ الَّتِي طَلَّقْتُهَا، أَوْ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ غُرَمَائِي الَّذِي بِعْتُهُ إِيَّاكُمْ؟ هُوَذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِكُمْ قَدْ بُعْتُمْ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ طُلِّقَتْ أُمُّكُمْ.
خُيُوطُهُمْ لاَ تَصِيرُ ثَوْبًا، وَلاَ يَكْتَسُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَعْمَالُ إِثْمٍ، وَفَعْلُ الظُّلْمِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ.
لأَنَّ الْفِرَاشَ قَدْ قَصَرَ عَنِ التَّمَدُّدِ، وَالْغِطَاءَ ضَاقَ عَنِ الالْتِحَافِ.
