Malachi 2:11

Judah hath dealt treacherously, with a calm disregard of the covenant faithfulness, and an abomination is committed In Israel, throughout the nation, and in Jerusalem, the capital, which should have led in the observance of the Law; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which He loved, namely, the people as a body, whom the Lord had chosen as His holy people, and hath married the daughter of a strange god, by the fact that numerous members of the nation had entered into the marriage relationship with women addicted to idolatry, an act which was distinctly prohibited in the Law of God, Exodus 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1.
