Malachi 2:14-17

Malachi 2:14-17 NCV

And I hate people who do cruel things as easily as they put on clothes,” says the LORD All-Powerful. So be careful. And do not break your trust. You have tired the LORD with your words. You ask, “How have we tired him?” You did it by saying, “The LORD thinks anyone who does evil is good, and he is pleased with them.” Or you asked, “Where is the God who is fair?”
