Malachi 3:2-5

2“But whoH4310 can 1endureH3557 the dayH3117 of His comingH935? And whoH4310 can standH5975 when He appearsH7200? For He is like a 2refiner’sH6884 fireH784, and like launderer’sH3526 soapH1287. 3And He will sitH3427 as a smelterH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701, and He will 3purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 and refineH2212 them like goldH2091 and silverH3701, so that they may 4presentH5066 to the LordH3068 5offeringsH4503 in righteousnessH6666. 4Then the 6offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 will be 7pleasingH6149 to the LordH3068 as in the 8daysH3117 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 9sorcerersH3784, the 10adulterersH5003, against those who 11swearH7650 falselyH8267, those who 12oppressH6231 the 13wageH7916 earnerH7916 in his wagesH7939 or the 14widowH490 or the 15orphanH3490, and those who turnH5186 awayH5186 the 16strangerH1616 from justice and do not 17fearH3372 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
