Malachi 3:5-18

5“Then I will drawH7126 nearH7126 to you for judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the 1sorcerersH3784 and against the 2adulterersH5003 and against those who 3swearH7650 falselyH8267, and against those who oppressH6231 the 4wageH7916 earnerH7916 in his wagesH7939, the 5widowH490 and the 6orphanH3490, and those who turnH5186 asideH5186 the 78alienH1616 and do not 9fearH3372 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 6“For 10I, the LordH3068, 11do not changeH8132; therefore you, O sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, 12are not consumedH3615.

7“From the 13daysH3117 of your fathersH1 you have turnedH5493 asideH5493 from My statutesH2706 and have not keptH8104 them. 14ReturnH7725 to Me, and I will returnH7725 to you,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. “But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 shall we returnH7725?’

8“Will a manH120 15robH6906 GodH430? YetH3588 you are robbingH6906 Me! But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 have we robbedH6906 You?’ In 16tithesH4643 and 17offeringsH8641. 9You are 18cursedH779 with a curseH3994, for you are 19robbingH6906 Me, the wholeH3605 nationH1471 of you! 1020BringH935 the wholeH3605 titheH4643 into the storehouseH214, so that there may be 21foodH2964 in My houseH1004, and testH974 Me nowH4994 in thisH2088,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “ifH518 I will not 22openH6605 for you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 and 23pourH7385 out for you a blessingH1293 untilH5704 2425it overflowsH1097H1767. 11Then I will rebukeH1605 the 26devourerH398 for you, so that it will not 27destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of the groundH127; norH3808 will your vineH1612 in the fieldH7704 castH7921 its grapes,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 12“28AllH3605 the nationsH1471 will callH833 you blessedH833, for you shall be a 29delightfulH2656 landH776,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.

13“Your wordsH1697 have beenH2388 30arrogantH2388 againstH5921 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068. “Yet you sayH559, ‘WhatH4100 have we spokenH1696 againstH5921 You?’ 14You have saidH559, ‘It is 31vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430; and whatH4100 32profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 His chargeH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 in mourningH6941 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635? 15So nowH6258 we 33callH833 the arrogantH2086 blessedH833; not onlyH1571 are the doersH6213 of wickednessH7564 builtH1129 up but they alsoH1571 testH974 GodH430 and 34escapeH4422.’”

16ThenH227 those who 35fearedH3372 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to oneH376 anotherH7453, and the LordH3068 36gaveH7181 attentionH7181 and heardH8085 it, and a 37bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 Him for those who 38fearH3372 the LordH3068 and who esteemH2803 His nameH8034. 17“They will be 39Mine,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “on the 40dayH3117 that I 41prepareH6213 My 4243own possessionH5459, and I will 44spareH2550 them as a manH376 4546sparesH2550 his own sonH1121 who servesH5647 him.” 18So you will againH7725 47distinguishH7200 betweenH996 the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, betweenH996 one who servesH5647 GodH430 and one whoH834 does not serveH5647 Him.
