Yes, my New Living translation says "For I hate divorce! says the Lord, the God of Israel. It is cruel as putting on a victim's bloodstained coat. says the Lord Almighty. So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife."
But as you can see, things are often lost or created in translation seeing as though this "modern" translation is very different from the King James version and the King James is probably different from the actual text. Sure, "putting away" could have meant "divorce" back then but I don't know where the rest of that translation came from and neither do you. Moreover, many people are fundamentalists and think that this means that they are going to Hell if they get a divorce (I've heard that plenty of times). That's ridiculous to say the least and THIS is why Scriptural warfare gets a great big "BLAH" from me.
ETA: And no one can be "mislead" by what's in this thread unless they don't own a Bible and/or need to seek a CLOSER WALK WITH THEE.
