Malachi 3:5 in Context — Malachi 3
3 E ele se sentará como refinador e purificador da prata; pois ele limpará os filhos de Levi, e os refinará como o ouro e como a prata; então trarão ao SENHOR oferta com justiça.
4 E a oferta de Judá e de Jerusalém será suave ao SENHOR, como nos dias antigos, e como nos anos passados.
5 E eu me achegarei a vós para o julgamento; e prontamente serei testemunha contra os feiticeiros e adúlteros, e contra os que juram falsamente, e os que oprimem o empregado em seu salário, a viúva, e o órfão, e pervertem [o direito] do estrangeiro, e não me temem,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
6 Porque eu o SENHOR, não me mudo; por isso que vós, filhos de Jacó, não sois consumidos.
7 Desde os dias de vossos pais vos desviastes de minhas leis, e não as guardastes. Voltai-vos a mim, e eu me voltarei a vós,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Mas vós dizeis: Em que temos de voltar?
