Malachi 3:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
will please the Lord,
as in ancient days, as in years gone by.
5 I will draw near to you for judgment,
and I will be swift to bear witness
Against sorcerers, adulterers, and perjurers,
those who deprive a laborer of wages,
Oppress a widow or an orphan,
or turn aside a resident alien,
without fearing me, says the Lord of hosts.
Gifts for God, Blessings for the People
6 For I, the Lord, do not change,[a]
and you, sons of Jacob, do not cease to be.
Footnotes
- 3:6–7 Not change: God remains faithful to the covenant even when the human partners break it.
