And this have ye done again, 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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 2 of Malachi. Weeping at the altar does not gain approval because it is accompanied by marital unfaithfulness. Malachi connects the relationship with God to faithfulness in marriage, showing that worship cannot be used to conceal unjust conduct toward one’s spouse.

Weiter tut ihr auch das: ihr bedeckt den Altar des HERRN mit Tränen und Weinen und Seufzen, daß ich nicht mehr mag das Speisopfer ansehen noch etwas Angenehmes von euren Händen empfangen.
Y esta otra vez haréis cubrir el altar de Jehová de lágrimas, de llanto, y de clamor; así que no miraré más a presente, para aceptarlo con gusto de vuestra mano.
Voici encore ce que vous faites: Vous couvrez de larmes l'autel de l'Eternel, De pleurs et de gémissements, En sorte qu'il n'a plus égard aux offrandes Et qu'il ne peut rien agréer de vos mains.
E in secondo luogo voi fate questo: Voi coprite di lagrime, di pianto, e di strida, l’altar del Signore, talchè egli non riguarda più alle offerte, e non riceva più dalle vostre mani cosa alcuna a grado.
Ainda fazeis isto outra vez, cobrindo o altar do SENHOR de lágrimas, com choro e com gemidos; de sorte que ele não olha mais para a oferta, nem a aceitará com prazer da vossa mão.
你們又再做這樣的事,使哭泣和嘆息的眼淚遮蓋耶和華的祭壇,以致耶和華不再理會那供物,也不喜歡從你們的手中收納。
