Malachi 2:14 BBE/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 14 But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word. | 14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. |
