Malachi 3

Behold, I will send
<07971> (8802)
my messenger
<04397>_,
and he shall prepare
<06437> (8765)
the way
<01870>
before
<06440>
me: and the Lord
<0113>_,
whom ye seek
<01245> (8764)_,
shall suddenly
<06597>
come
<0935> (8799)
to his temple
<01964>_,
even the messenger
<04397>
of the covenant
<01285>_,
whom ye delight
<02655>
in: behold, he shall come
<0935> (8804)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
But who may abide
<03557> (8772)
the day
<03117>
of his coming
<0935> (8800)_?
and who shall stand
<05975> (8802)
when he appeareth
<07200> (8736)_?
for he [is] like a refiner's
<06884> (8764)
fire
<0784>_,
and like fullers
<03526> (8764)_'
soap
<01287>_:
And he shall sit
<03427> (8804)
[as] a refiner
<06884> (8764)
and purifier
<02891> (8764)
of silver
<03701>_:
and he shall purify
<02891> (8765)
the sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>_,
and purge
<02212> (8765)
them as gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>_,
that they may offer
<05066> (8688)
unto the LORD
<03068>
an offering
<04503>
in righteousness
<06666>_.
Then shall the offering
<04503>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
be pleasant
<06149> (8804)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
as in the days
<03117>
of old
<05769>_,
and as in former
<06931>
years
<08141>_.
{former: or, ancient}
And I will come near
<07126> (8804)
to you to judgment
<04941>_;
and I will be a swift
<04116> (8764)
witness
<05707>
against the sorcerers
<03784> (8764)_,
and against the adulterers
<05003> (8764)_,
and against false
<08267>
swearers
<07650> (8737)_,
and against those that oppress
<06231> (8802)
the hireling
<07916>
in [his] wages
<07939>_,
the widow
<0490>_,
and the fatherless
<03490>_,
and that turn aside
<05186> (8688)
the stranger
<01616>
[from his right], and fear
<03372> (8804)
not me, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{oppress: or, defraud}
For I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
I change
<08138> (8804)
not; therefore ye sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>
are not consumed
<03615> (8804)_.
Even from the days
<03117>
of your fathers
<01>
ye are gone away
<05493> (8804)
from mine ordinances
<02706>_,
and have not kept
<08104> (8804)
[them]. Return
<07725> (8798)
unto me, and I will return
<07725> (8799)
unto you, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
But ye said
<0559> (8804)_,
Wherein shall we return
<07725> (8799)_?
Will a man
<0120>
rob
<06906> (8799)
God
<0430>_?
Yet ye have robbed
<06906> (8802)
me. But ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
Wherein have we robbed
<06906> (8804)
thee? In tithes
<04643>
and offerings
<08641>_.
Ye [are] cursed
<0779> (8737)
with a curse
<03994>_:
for ye have robbed
<06906> (8802)
me, [even] this whole nation
<01471>_.
Bring
<0935> (8685)
ye all the tithes
<04643>
into the storehouse
<0214>_,
that there may be meat
<02964>
in mine house
<01004>_,
and prove
<0974> (8798)
me now herewith
<02063>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
if I will not open
<06605> (8799)
you the windows
<0699>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and pour you out
<07324> (8689)
a blessing
<01293>_,
that [there shall] not [be room] enough
<01767>
[to receive it]. {pour...: Heb. empty out}
And I will rebuke
<01605> (8804)
the devourer
<0398> (8802)
for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
<07843> (8686)
the fruits
<06529>
of your ground
<0127>_;
neither shall your vine
<01612>
cast her fruit
<07921> (8762)
before the time in the field
<07704>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{destroy: Heb. corrupt}
And all nations
<01471>
shall call you blessed
<0833> (8765)_:
for ye shall be a delightsome
<02656>
land
<0776>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Your words
<01697>
have been stout
<02388> (8804)
against me, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
What have we spoken
<01696> (8738)
[so much] against thee?
Ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,
It [is] vain
<07723>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
God
<0430>_:
and what profit
<01215>
[is it] that we have kept
<08104> (8804)
his ordinance
<04931>_,
and that we have walked
<01980> (8804)
mournfully
<06941>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_?
{ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
And now we call
<0833> (0)
the proud
<02086>
happy
<0833> (8764)_;
yea, they that work
<06213> (8802)
wickedness
<07564>
are set up
<01129> (8738)_;
yea, [they that] tempt
<0974> (8804)
God
<0430>
are even delivered
<04422> (8735)_.
{are set up: Heb. are built}
Then they that feared
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>
spake often
<01696> (8738)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
hearkened
<07181> (8686)_,
and heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], and a book
<05612>
of remembrance
<02146>
was written
<03789> (8735)
before
<06440>
him for them that feared
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and that thought
<02803> (8802)
upon his name
<08034>_.
And they shall be mine, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
in that day
<03117>
when I make up
<06213> (8802)
my jewels
<05459>_;
and I will spare
<02550> (8804)
them, as a man
<0376>
spareth
<02550> (8799)
his own son
<01121>
that serveth
<05647> (8802)
him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
Then shall ye return
<07725> (8804)_,
and discern
<07200> (8804)
between the righteous
<06662>
and the wicked
<07563>_,
between him that serveth
<05647> (8802)
God
<0430>
and him that serveth
<05647> (8804)
him not.
