Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom
ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even
the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight
in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD
of hosts. But who may abide the day of his
coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth?
for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and
purge them as gold and silver, that they may
offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old,
and as in former years. and I will come near to
you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness
against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers,
and against false swearers, and against those that
oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow,
and the fatherless, and that turn aside the
stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith
the LORD of hosts. For I am the LORD,
I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob
are not consumed. Even from the days of your
fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances,
and have not kept them. Return unto me,
and I will return unto you, saith the LORD
of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes
and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse:
for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house, and prove
me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts,
if I will not open you the windows of heaven,
and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3: 1-10
