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