broken covenant
Violated sacred agreement
A broken covenant is an agreement or sacred promise that has been violated or abandoned.
Covenants imply solemn commitment—whether between people, nations, or in religious contexts between humans and God—so breaking one carries weight beyond ordinary contract breach.
