Malachi 3

1Behold, I sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepare the wayH1870 before me; and the Lord whom ye seekH1245 will suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, and the AngelH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. 2But who shall endureH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner's fireH784, and like fullers' lye. 3And he shall sitH3427 [as] a refiner and purifier of silverH3701; and he will purifyH2891 the children of LeviH3878, and purge them as goldH2091 and silverH3701; and they shall offer unto Jehovah an oblation in righteousnessH6666. 4Then shall the oblation of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the daysH3117 of old, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141. 5And I will come near to you to judgmentH4941; and I will beH1961 a swift witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppressH6231 the hired servant in [his] wagesH7939, the widowH490 and the fatherlessH3490, and that turnH5186 asideH5186 the stranger [from his rightH4941], and fearH3372 not me, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. 6For I Jehovah change not, and ye, sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, are not consumed. 7Since the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 have ye departedH5493 from my statutesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. But ye sayH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725? 8Will a manH120 robH6906 1GodH430? But ye robH6906 me. And ye sayH559, Wherein do we robH6906 thee? [In] tithesH4643 and heave-offerings. 9Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH779; and me ye robH6906, [even] this whole nationH1471. 10BringH935 the whole titheH4643 into the treasure-house, that there may beH1961 foodH2964 in my houseH1004, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, if I openH6605 not to you the windowsH699 of the heavensH8064, and pour you out a blessingH1293, till there beH1961 no place for it. 11And I will rebukeH1605 the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of your groundH127; neither shall your vineH1612 cast its fruitH6529 before the time in the fieldH7704, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. 12And all nationsH1471 shall callH833 you blessed; for ye shall beH1961 a delightsome landH776, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. 13Your wordsH1697 have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye sayH559, What have we been speakingH1696 against thee? 14Ye sayH559, It is vain to serveH5647 2GodH430; and what profitH1215 is it that we keepH8104 his chargeH4931, and that we walkH1980 mournfully before Jehovah of hostsH6635? 15And nowH6258 we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickednessH7564 are builtH1129 up; yea, they tempt 3GodH430, and they escapeH4422. 16ThenH227 they that fearedH3372 Jehovah spokeH1696 often oneH376 to another; and Jehovah observed [it], and heardH8085, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 before him for them that fearedH3372 Jehovah, and that thought upon his nameH8034. 17And they shall beH1961 unto me a peculiar treasureH5459, saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, in the dayH3117 that I prepare; and I will spareH2550 them as a manH376 spareth his own sonH1121 that serveth him. 18And ye shall returnH7725 and discern between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that serveth 4GodH430 and him that serveth him not.
