^{4 Ref} And sweet to Jehovah hath been the present of Judah and Jerusalem, As in days of old, and as in former years.

^{5 Ref} And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts.
