Malachi 3:1-18 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come, said the LORD of hosts.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H2005 Behold, H7971 I will send H4397 my messenger, H6437 and he shall prepare H1870 the way H6440 before H113 me: and the LORD, H834 whom H1245 you seek, H6597 shall suddenly H935 come H1964 to his temple, H4397 even the messenger H1285 of the covenant, H834 whom H2655 you delight H2009 in: behold, H935 he shall come, H559 said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

2 H4310 But who H3557 may abide H3117 the day H935 of his coming? H4310 and who H5975 shall stand H7200 when he appears? H6884 for he is like a refiner’s H784 fire, H3526 and like fullers’ H1287 soap:

3 H3427 And he shall sit H6884 as a refiner H2891 and purifier H3701 of silver: H2891 and he shall purify H1121 the sons H3878 of Levi, H2212 and purge H2091 them as gold H3701 and silver, H5066 that they may offer H3068 to the LORD H4503 an offering H6666 in righteousness.

4 H4503 Then shall the offering H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H6149 be pleasant H3068 to the LORD, H3117 as in the days H5769 of old, H6931 and as in former H8141 years.

5 H7126 And I will come H7126 near H4941 to you to judgment; H4116 and I will be a swift H5707 witness H3784 against the sorcerers, H5003 and against the adulterers, H8267 and against false H7650 swearers, H6231 and against those that oppress H7916 the hireling H7939 in his wages, H490 the widow, H3490 and the fatherless, H5186 and that turn H5186 aside H1616 the stranger H3372 from his right, and fear H559 not me, said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

6 H3068 For I am the LORD, H8138 I change H1121 not; therefore you sons H3290 of Jacob H3615 are not consumed.

7 H3117 Even from the days H1 of your fathers H5493 you are gone H5493 away H2706 from my ordinances, H8104 and have not kept H7725 them. Return H7725 to me, and I will return H559 to you, said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts. H559 But you said, H4100 Wherein H7725 shall we return?

8 H120 Will a man H6906 rob H430 God? H6906 Yet you have robbed H559 me. But you say, H4100 Wherein H6906 have we robbed H4643 you? In tithes H8641 and offerings.

9 H779 You are cursed H3994 with a curse: H6906 for you have robbed H3605 me, even this whole H1471 nation.

10 H935 Bring H3605 you all H4643 the tithes H413 into H214 the storehouse, H2964 that there may be meat H1004 in my house, H974 and prove H4994 me now H2063 herewith, H559 said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H6605 if I will not open H699 you the windows H8064 of heaven, H7324 and pour H1293 you out a blessing, H1767 that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 H1605 And I will rebuke H398 the devourer H7843 for your sakes, and he shall not destroy H6529 the fruits H127 of your ground; H3808 neither H1612 shall your vine H7921 cast H7921 her fruit H7704 before the time in the field, H559 said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

12 H3605 And all H1471 nations H833 shall call H833 you blessed: H2656 for you shall be a delightsome H776 land, H559 said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts.

13 H1697 Your words H2388 have been stout H5921 against H559 me, said H3068 the LORD. H559 Yet you say, H4100 What H1696 have we spoken H5921 so much against you?

14 H559 You have said, H7723 It is vain H5647 to serve H430 God: H4100 and what H1215 profit H8104 is it that we have kept H4931 his ordinance, H1980 and that we have walked H6941 mournfully H6440 before H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts?

15 H6258 And now H833 we call H2086 the proud H833 happy; H1571 yes, H6213 they that work H7564 wickedness H1129 are set H1571 up; yes, H974 they that tempt H430 God H4422 are even delivered.

16 H3372 Then they that feared H3068 the LORD H1696 spoke H376 often one H7453 to another: H3068 and the LORD H7181 listened, H8085 and heard H5612 it, and a book H2146 of remembrance H3789 was written H6440 before H3372 him for them that feared H3068 the LORD, H2803 and that thought H8034 on his name.

17 H559 And they shall be mine, said H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts, H3117 in that day H834 when H6213 I make H5459 up my jewels; H2550 and I will spare H376 them, as a man H2550 spares H1121 his own son H5647 that serves him.

18 H7725 Then shall you return, H7200 and discern H996 between H6662 the righteous H7563 and the wicked, H996 between H5647 him that serves H430 God H5647 and him that serves him not.
