Malachi 3:1-5
1“1BeholdH2009, I am sendingH7971 2My 3messengerH4397, and he will 4clearH6437 a wayH1870 beforeH6440 Me. And the LordH113, whomH834 you are seekingH1245, will suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to His templeH1964; 5and the 67messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, in whomH834 you delightH2655, beholdH2009, He is comingH935,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. 2“But whoH4310 can 8endureH3557 the dayH3117 of His comingH935? And whoH4310 can standH5975 when He appearsH7200? For He is like a 9refiner’sH6884 fireH784, and like launderer’sH3526 soapH1287. 3And He will sitH3427 as a smelterH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701, and He will 10purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 and refineH2212 them like goldH2091 and silverH3701, so that they may 11presentH5066 to the LordH3068 12offeringsH4503 in righteousnessH6666. 4Then the 13offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 will be 14pleasingH6149 to the LordH3068 as in the 15daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141.
5“Then I will comeH7126 nearH7126 to you for judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the 16sorcerersH3784, the 17adulterersH5003, against those who 18swearH7650 falselyH8267, those who 19oppressH6231 the 20wageH7916 earnerH7916 in his wagesH7939 or the 21widowH490 or the 22orphanH3490, and those who turnH5186 awayH5186 the 23strangerH1616 from justice and do not 24fearH3372 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
