King James Bible - Malachi 2:17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge VERSE (17) - Ps 95:9,10 Isa 1:14; 7:13; 43:24 Jer 15:6 Eze 16:43 Am 2:13
SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:17 Habéis hecho cansar al SEÑOR con vuestras palabras. Y diréis: ¿En qué le hemos cansado? Cuando decís: Cualquiera que mal hace agrada al SEÑOR, y en los tales toma contentamiento; de otra manera, ¿dónde está el Dios de juicio?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Malachi 2:17 Verse 17. Ye have wearied the Lord] He has borne with you so long, and has been prosoked so often, that he will bear it no longer. It is not fit that he should. Every one that doeth evil] Ye say that it is right in the sight of the Lord to put away a wife, because she has no longer found favour in the sight of her husband. And because it has not been signally punished hitherto, ye blaspheme and cry out, "Where is the God of judgment?" Were he such as he is represented, would he not speak out? All these things show that this people were horribly corrupt. The priests were bad; the prophets were bad; the Levites were bad; and no wonder that the people were irreligious, profane, profligate, and cruel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 17. Ye have wearied the Lord with your words , etc.] As well as with their actions; (see Isaiah 43:24) this is said after the manner of men, they saying those things which were displeasing and provoking to him, and which he could not bear to hear; or otherwise weariness properly cannot be attributed to God: Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him ? as if they were clear and innocent; or, as the Targum, “if ye should say”; though they might not express themselves in words in such an impudent manner; yet should they say so in their hearts, or supposing they should utter such words with their lips, out of the abundance of their evil hearts, the answer is ready: When ye say, Every one that doeth evil [is] good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them ; which they concluded from the prosperity of the wicked, and the afflictions of the righteous; so murmuring at, and complaining of, the providence of God; he acting as if he delighted in wicked men, and as if they that did evil were the most grateful and acceptable to him: or , if this was not the case, Where [is] the God of judgment ? why does he not arise and show himself to be a God that judgeth the earth, by taking vengeance on the wicked, and granting prosperity to his people? Deuteronomy Dieu takes these last words to be the words of the prophet, and thinks that wa is a particle of exclamation, and should be rendered “O”; and that the prophet expresses his wonder at the patience and longsuffering of God in bearing such impiety and blasphemy as before delivered. The Septuagint and Arabic versions are, “where is the God of righteousness?” either God the Father, who is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in the fulfilment of all his promises; or, Christ the Lord our righteousness, who was to come, and is come into this world for judgment, as well as to bring in an everlasting righteousness. This may be considered as a scoff of wicked men at the long delay of the Messiah’s coming, when they expected outward prosperity and happiness; just as the scoffers in the last day will mock at the promise of his second coming, ( 2 Peter 3:3,4) and so the words, with which the next chapter begins ( Malachi 3:1), are an answer to these.
Matthew Henry Commentary Verses 10-17 - Corrupt practices are the fruit of corrupt principles; and he who is false to his God, will not be true to his fellow mortals. In contemp of the marriage covenant, which God instituted, the Jews put away the wives they had of their own nation, probably to make room for strang wives. They made their lives bitter to them; yet, in the sight of others, they pretend to be tender of them. Consider she is thy wife thy own; the nearest relation thou hast in the world. The wife is to be looked on, not as a servant, but as a companion to the husband. Ther is an oath of God between them, which is not to be trifled with. Ma and wife should continue to their lives' end, in holy love and peace Did not God make one, one Eve for one Adam? Yet God could have mad another Eve. Wherefore did he make but one woman for one man? It wa that the children might be made a seed to serve him. Husbands and wive must live in the fear of God, that their seed may be a godly seed. The God of Israel saith that he hateth putting away. Those who would be kept from sin, must take heed to their spirits, for there all sin begins. Men will find that their wrong conduct in their familie springs from selfishness, which disregards the welfare and happiness of others, when opposed to their own passions and fancies. It is wearisom to God to hear people justify themselves in wicked practices. Those wh think God can be a friend to sin, affront him, and deceive themselves The scoffers said, Where is the God of judgement? but the day of the Lord will come __________________________________________________________________
