Malachi 3:7 in Context — Malachi 3
5 Je m’approcherai de vous pour le jugement, Et je me hâterai de témoigner contre les enchanteurs et les adultères, Contre ceux qui jurent faussement, Contre ceux qui retiennent le salaire du mercenaire, Qui oppriment la veuve et l’orphelin, Qui font tort à l’étranger, et ne me craignent pas, Dit l’Éternel des armées.
6 Car je suis l’Éternel, je ne change pas; Et vous, enfants de Jacob, vous n’avez pas été consumés.
7 Depuis le temps de vos pères, vous vous êtes écartés de mes ordonnances, Vous ne les avez point observées. Revenez à moi, et je reviendrai à vous, Dit l’Éternel des armées. Et vous dites: En quoi devons-nous revenir?
8 Un homme trompe-t-il Dieu? Car vous me trompez, Et vous dites: En quoi t’avons-nous trompé? Dans les dîmes et les offrandes.
9 Vous êtes frappés par la malédiction, Et vous me trompez, La nation tout entière!
