⁶ “I, the Lord, never change. That is why you descendants of Jacob haven’t been destroyed yet. ⁷ Since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my laws and have not followed them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of Armies.

“But you ask, ‘How can we return?’

⁸ “Can a person cheat God? Yet, you are cheating me!

“But you ask, ‘How are we cheating you?’
