“Then I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, against adulterers, against perjurers, and against those who oppress the laborer in his wages and widows and the fatherless, and against those who turn away the alien [from his right], and those who do not fear Me [with awe-filled reverence],” says the Lord of hosts.
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
“Yes, I’m on my way to visit you with Judgment. I’ll present compelling evidence against sorcerers, adulterers, liars, those who exploit workers, those who take advantage of widows and orphans, those who are inhospitable to the homeless—anyone and everyone who doesn’t honor me.” A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies. 6-7 “I am God—yes, I Am. I haven’t changed. And because I haven’t changed, you, the descendants of Jacob, haven’t been destroyed. You have a long history of ignoring my commands. You haven’t done a thing I’ve told you. Return to me so I can return to you,” says God-of-the-Angel-Armies.“You ask, ‘But how do we return?’ 8-11 “Begin by being honest. Do honest people rob God? But you rob me day after day.“You ask, ‘How have we robbed you?’“The tithe and the offering—that’s how! And now you’re under a curse—the whole lot of you—because you’re robbing me. Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple. Test me in this and see if I don’t open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams. For my part, I will defend you against marauders, protect your wheat fields and vegetable gardens against plunderers.” The Message of God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
“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 [h]orphan, and those who turn aside the [i]alien and do not [j]fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.
“So I will come and put you on trial. I will be quick to bring charges against all of you,” says the Lord who rules over all. “I will bring charges against you sinful people who do not have any respect for me. That includes those who practice evil magic. It includes those who commit adultery and those who tell lies in court. It includes those who cheat workers out of their pay. It includes those who treat widows badly. It also includes those who mistreat children whose fathers have died. And it includes those who take away the rights of outsiders in the courts. Breaking the Covenant by Stealing From God
“So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty. Breaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes
‘So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud labourers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,’ says the Lord Almighty. Breaking covenant by withholding tithes
“At that time I will put you on trial. I am eager to witness against all sorcerers and adulterers and liars. I will speak against those who cheat employees of their wages, who oppress widows and orphans, or who deprive the foreigners living among you of justice, for these people do not fear me,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

وَأَقْتَرِبُ مِنْكُمْ لأَكُونَ شَاهِداً سَرِيعاً ضِدَّ السَّحَرَةِ وَالزُّنَاةِ وَالْحَالِفِينَ بِالزُّورِ وَالْمُسْتَغِلِّينَ لأُجْرَةِ الْعَامِلِ وَمُضْطَهِدِي الأَرَامِلِ وَالأَيْتَامِ، وَالَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ الْغُرَبَاءَ وَلا يَخَافُونَنِي. نقض العهد بسلب العشور

Ich, der Herr, der allmächtige Gott, kündige euch an: Ich komme zum Gericht und mache kurzen Prozess mit den Zauberern und Ehebrechern, mit allen, die Meineide schwören, die ihre Arbeiter um den gerechten Lohn bringen und die Witwen, Waisen und Ausländer unterdrücken. Ja, ich selbst trete dann als Zeuge gegen alle von euch auf, die keine Ehrfurcht vor mir haben.« Ihr betrügt Gott!
