A (10) Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

B (11) Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of Yahweh which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

C (12) Yahweh will cut off the man that doeth this,

D (12) the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto Yahweh of hosts.

C1 (13) And this have ye done again, covering the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.

B1 (14) Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Yahweh hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously:

A1 (14) yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
