Malachi 3:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Then I will draw near to you for judgment,
    and I will be swift to bear witness
against the sorcerers, adulterers, and perjurers,
    against those who defraud the hired laborer of his wages,
against those who wrong widows and orphans,
    against those who thrust aside the foreigner,
and against those who do not fear me,
    says the Lord of hosts.

⁶ For I, the Lord, do not change,
    and you have not ceased to be sons of Jacob.
⁷ Since the days of your fathers
    you have turned aside from my statutes
    and have not kept them.
Return to me,
    and I will return to you,
    says the Lord of hosts.
Yet you ask,
    “How can we return?”
