Malachi 3:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the (A)sorcerers and against the (B)adulterers and against those who (C)swear falsely, and against those who oppress the (D)wage earner in his wages, the (E)widow and the [a]orphan, and those who turn aside the [b](F)alien and do not [c]fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts. 6 “For [d]I, the Lord, (G)do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, [e]are not consumed.
7 “From the (H)days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. (I)Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
