Malachi 3:1-10

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.
