OET (OET-RV) This is what army-commander Yahweh says, “At that time, I’ll come to you all to judge you. I’ll quickly testify against all those who practice sorcery, against adulterers, against those who lie in court, against those who don’t pay their workers fairly, against those who mistreat widows and orphans, against those who don’t treat the foreigners among you decently, and against those who refuse to honour me.

וְקָרַבְתִּ֣י אֲלֵיכֶם֮ לַמִּשְׁפָּט֒
and,draw_near to,you_all for_the,judgment
Here judgment refers to the act of judging. Alternate translation: “Then I will approach you in order to judge you”
וּבְעֹשְׁקֵ֣י שְׂכַר־שָׂ֠כִיר
and,in/on/at/with,oppress wages hired_worker
Alternate translation: “and against those who cause the hired worker to suffer by not paying him for his work”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּמַטֵּי־גֵר֙
and,thrust_aside alien
That is, turn aside the foreigner from gaining his rights. Depriving people of their rights is spoken of as if it were physically turning them away from oneself. Perhaps the idea is turning away someone who comes for a wrong to be set right. Alternate translation: “against those who deny foreigners living in Israel the rights that they should have”
3:5 The words eager to witness suggest a legal proceeding in which God is both prosecuting attorney (accuser) and key witness (provider of evidence) against postexilic Judah.
• Sorcerers practiced witchcraft, black magic, or fortune-telling for personal gain.
• The coming day of God’s judgment would either purify the sinful Judeans (3:3) or destroy them (4:1-2).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
