Malachi 2:13
_ _ done again — “a second time”: an aggravation of your offense (Nehemiah 13:23-31), in that it is a relapse into the sin already checked once under Ezra (Ezra 9:10) [Henderson]. Or, “the second time” means this: Your first sin was your blemished offerings to the Lord: now “again” is added your sin towards your wives [Calvin].
_ _ covering ... altar ... with tears — shed by your unoffending wives, repudiated by you that ye might take foreign wives. Calvin makes the “tears” to be those of all the people on perceiving their sacrifices to be sternly rejected by God. |
Malachi 2:13
And this — Beside that first fault, you have committed another, you misuse, and afflict your Jewish wives, whom alone you should have cherished. With tears — Your despised wives fly to the temple, weep and cry to God for redress. With weeping — This is added to shew the abundance of their tears. He — The Lord. |
Malachi 2:13
And this have ye done again, (r) covering the altar of the LORD 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.
(r) Yet cause the people to lament, because God does not regard their sacrifices, so that they seem to sacrifice in vain. |
