CHAPTER 24

5 And I will come ^anear to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the ^bsorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false ^cswearers, and against those that ^doppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the ^efatherless, and that turn aside the ^fstranger, and fear not me, saith the Lord of Hosts.
