A Swift Witness

5Then I will come near to you for judgment. I will be swift to testify against sorcerers, adulterers, those who swear falsely, those who cheat hired workers of their wages, those who oppress widows and the fatherless, and those who deny justice to resident foreigners. They do not fear me, says Yahweh of Armies.

6For I, Yahweh, do not change; therefore you, descendants of Jacob, have not been destroyed.

7Since the days of your ancestors, you have turned away from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says Yahweh of Armies. But you say, “How are we to return?”
