Malachi 3:2-5

2But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner’sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers’H3526 soapH1287:

3And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto YhwhH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.

4Then shall the offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasantH6149 unto YhwhH3068, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141.1

5And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.2
