H7971
Behold, I will send
[H8802]
H4397
my messenger
H6437
, and he shall prepare
[H8765]
H1870
the way
H6440
before
H113
me: and the Lord
H1245
, whom ye seek
[H8764]
H6597
, shall suddenly
H935
come
[H8799]
H1964
to his temple
H4397
, even the messenger
H1285
of the covenant
H2655
, whom ye delight
H935
in: behold, he shall come
[H8804]
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
2
H3557
But who may abide
[H8772]
H3117
the day
H935
of his coming
[H8800]
H5975
? and who shall stand
[H8802]
H7200
when he appeareth
[H8736]
H6884
? for he is like a refiner's
[H8764]
H784
fire
H3526
, and like fullers
[H8764]
H1287
' soap:
3
H3427
And he shall sit
[H8804]
H6884
as a refiner
[H8764]
H2891
and purifier
[H8764]
H3701
of silver
H2891
: and he shall purify
[H8765]
H1121
the sons
H3878
of Levi
H2212
, and purge
[H8765]
H2091
them as gold
H3701
and silver
H5066
, that they may offer
[H8688]
H3068
unto the LORD
H4503
an offering
H6666
in righteousness.
4
H4503
Then shall the offering
H3063
of Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem
H6149
be pleasant
[H8804]
H3068
unto the LORD
H3117
, as in the days
H5769
of old
H6931
, and as in former
H8141
years.
5
H7126
And I will come near
[H8804]
H4941
to you to judgment
H4116
; and I will be a swift
[H8764]
H5707
witness
H3784
against the sorcerers
[H8764]
H5003
, and against the adulterers
[H8764]
H8267
, and against false
H7650
swearers
[H8737]
H6231
, and against those that oppress
[H8802]
H7916
the hireling
H7939
in his wages
H490
, the widow
H3490
, and the fatherless
H5186
, and that turn aside
[H8688]
H1616
the stranger
H3372
from his right, and fear
[H8804]
H559
not me, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
6
H3068
For I am the LORD
H8138
, I change
[H8804]
H1121
not; therefore ye sons
H3290
of Jacob
H3615
are not consumed
[H8804]
.
7
H3117
Even from the days
H1
of your fathers
H5493
ye are gone away
[H8804]
H2706
from mine ordinances
H8104
, and have not kept
[H8804]
H7725
them . Return
[H8798]
H7725
unto me, and I will return
[H8799]
H559
unto you, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H559
. But ye said
[H8804]
H7725
, Wherein shall we return
[H8799]
?
8
H120
Will a man
H6906
rob
[H8799]
H430
God
H6906
? Yet ye have robbed
[H8802]
H559
me. But ye say
[H8804]
H6906
, Wherein have we robbed
[H8804]
H4643
thee? In tithes
H8641
and offerings.
9
H779
Ye are cursed
[H8737]
H3994
with a curse
H6906
: for ye have robbed
[H8802]
H1471
me, even this whole nation.
10
H935
Bring
[H8685]
H4643
ye all the tithes
H214
into the storehouse
H2964
, that there may be meat
H1004
in mine house
H974
, and prove
[H8798]
H2063
me now herewith
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H6605
, if I will not open
[H8799]
H699
you the windows
H8064
of heaven
H7324
, and pour you out
[H8689]
H1293
a blessing
H1767
, that there shall not be room enough to receive it .
11
H1605
And I will rebuke
[H8804]
H398
the devourer
[H8802]
H7843
for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
[H8686]
H6529
the fruits
H127
of your ground
H1612
; neither shall your vine
H7921
cast her fruit
[H8762]
H7704
before the time in the field
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
12
H1471
And all nations
H833
shall call you blessed
[H8765]
H2656
: for ye shall be a delightsome
H776
land
H559
, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
13
H1697
Your words
H2388
have been stout
[H8804]
H559
against me, saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H559
. Yet ye say
[H8804]
H1696
, What have we spoken
[H8738]
so much against thee?
14
H559
Ye have said
[H8804]
H7723
, It is vain
H5647
to serve
[H8800]
H430
God
H1215
: and what profit
H8104
is it that we have kept
[H8804]
H4931
his ordinance
H1980
, and that we have walked
[H8804]
H6941
mournfully
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts?
15
H833
And now we call
H2086
the proud
H833
happy
[H8764]
H6213
; yea, they that work
[H8802]
H7564
wickedness
H1129
are set up
[H8738]
H974
; yea, they that tempt
[H8804]
H430
God
H4422
are even delivered
[H8735]
.
16
H3373
Then they that feared
H3068
the LORD
H1696
spake often
[H8738]
H376
one
H7453
to another
H3068
: and the LORD
H7181
hearkened
[H8686]
H8085
, and heard
[H8799]
H5612
it, and a book
H2146
of remembrance
H3789
was written
[H8735]
H6440
before
H3373
him for them that feared
H3068
the LORD
H2803
, and that thought
[H8802]
H8034
upon his name.
