Malachi 3

1Behold, I send^H7971 my messenger^H4397, and he shall prepare^H6437 the way^H1870 before^H6440 me: and the Lord^H113, whom ye seek^H1245, will suddenly^H6597 come^H935 to his temple^H1964; and the messenger^H4397 of the covenant^H1285, whom ye desire^H2655, behold, he cometh^H935, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 2But who can abide^H3557 the day^H3117 of his coming^H935? and who shall stand^H5975 when he appeareth^H7200? for he is like a refiner's^H6884 fire^H784, and like fuller's^H3526 soap^H1287: 3and he will sit^H3427 as a refiner^H6884 and purifier^H2891 of silver^H3701, and he will purify^H2891 the sons^H1121 of Levi^H3878, and refine^H2212 them as gold^H2091 and silver^H3701; and they shall offer^H5066 unto Jehovah^H3068 offerings^H4503 in righteousness^H6666. 4Then shall the offering^H4503 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389 be pleasant^H6149 unto Jehovah^H3068, as in the days^H3117 of old^H5769, and as in ancient^H6931 years^H8141. 5And I will come near^H7126 to you to judgment^H4941; and I will be a swift^H4116 witness^H5707 against the sorcerers^H3784, and against the adulterers^H5003, and against the false^H8267 swearers^H7650, and against those that oppress^H6231 the hireling^H7916 in his wages^H7939, the widow^H490, and the fatherless^H3490, and that turn aside^H5186 the sojourner^H1616 from his right, and fear^H3372 not me, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 6For I, Jehovah^H3068, change^H8138 not; therefore ye, O sons^H1121 of Jacob^H3290, are not consumed^H3615. 7From the days^H3117 of your fathers^H1 ye have turned aside^H5493 from mine ordinances^H2706, and have not kept^H8104 them. Return^H7725 unto me, and I will return^H7725 unto you, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. But ye say^H559, Wherein shall we return^H7725? 8Will a man^H120 rob^H6906 God^H430? yet ye rob^H6906 me. But ye say^H559, Wherein have we robbed^H6906 thee? In tithes^H4643 and offerings^H8641. 9Ye are cursed^H779 with the curse^H3994; for ye rob^H6906 me, even this whole nation^H1471. 10Bring^H935 ye the whole tithe^H4643 into the store-house^H214, that there may be food^H2964 in my house^H1004, and prove^H974 me now herewith^H2063, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, if I will not open^H6605 you the windows^H699 of heaven^H8064, and pour you out^H7324 a blessing^H1293, that there shall not be room enough^H1767 to receive it. 11And I will rebuke^H1605 the devourer^H398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroy^H7843 the fruits^H6529 of your ground^H127; neither shall your vine^H1612 cast its fruit^H7921 before the time in the field^H7704, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 12And all nations^H1471 shall call you happy^H833; for ye shall be a delightsome^H2656 land^H776, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635. 13Your words^H1697 have been stout^H2388 against me, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068. Yet ye say^H559, What have we spoken^H1696 against thee? 14Ye have said^H559, It is vain^H7723 to serve^H5647 God^H430; and what profit^H1215 is it that we have kept^H8104 his charge^H4931, and that we have walked^H1980 mournfully^H6941 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635? 15And now we call^H833 the proud^H2086 happy^H833; yea, they that work^H6213 wickedness^H7564 are built up^H1129; yea, they tempt^H974 God^H430, and escape^H4422. 16Then they that feared^H3373 Jehovah^H3068 spake^H1696 one^H376 with another^H7453; and Jehovah^H3068 hearkened^H7181, and heard^H8085, and a book^H5612 of remembrance^H2146 was written^H3789 before^H6440 him, for them that feared^H3373 Jehovah^H3068, and that thought^H2803 upon his name^H8034. 17And they shall be mine, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, even mine own possession^H5459, in the day^H3117 that I make^H6213; and I will spare^H2550 them, as a man^H376 spareth^H2550 his own son^H1121 that serveth^H5647 him. 18Then shall ye return^H7725 and discern^H7200 between the righteous^H6662 and the wicked^H7563, between him that serveth^H5647 God^H430 and him that serveth^H5647 him not.
