5. Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against the perjurers, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who turn aside the stranger, and do not fear Me, says the Lord of Hosts.
6. For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
7. From the days of your fathers you have gone away from My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Hosts.But you say, “How shall we return?”
8. Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me.But you say, “How have we robbed You?”In tithes and offerings.
9. You are cursed with a curse, your whole nation, for you are robbing Me.
