Malachi 3:5

Judgment At The Lord's Coming

⁴ The offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to Jehovah like it was in the old days, in ancient years. ⁵ “Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts. ⁶ I am Jehovah. I have not changed! You are the sons of Jacob. You have not yet been destroyed!
