Malachi 2:17--3:5

Ye have wearied
<03021> (8689)
the LORD
<03068>
with your words
<01697>_.
Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
Wherein have we wearied
<03021> (8689)
[him]? When ye say
<0559> (8800)_,
Every one that doeth
<06213> (8802)
evil
<07451>
[is] good
<02896>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and he delighteth
<02654> (8804)
in them; or, Where [is] the God
<0430>
of judgment
<04941>_?
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}
