Malachi 3:4-6
Living Bible
4 Then once more the Lord will enjoy the offerings brought to him by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as he did before. 5 At that time my punishments will be quick and certain; I will move swiftly against wicked men who trick the innocent, against adulterers and liars, against all those who cheat their hired hands, who oppress widows and orphans, or defraud strangers, and do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.
6 “For I am the Lord—I do not change. That is why you are not already utterly destroyed, for my mercy endures forever.[a]
