• Because you have not worshiped me, you will not worship in my house.
• Because you have not learned from me, you will not learn.
• Because you have not gathered in my name, you will not gather together.
• Because you have not sought healing from me, you will not be healed.
• Because you have deprived justice, I will put you on trial.
• Because you have not obeyed my laws, lawless men will rule over you.
• Because you do not fear me, you will fear the wicked.

“So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty. – Malachi 3:5
