H7971
"Behold, I send
H4397
my messenger,
H6437
and he will prepare
H1870
the way
H6440
before
H113
me; and the Lord,
H1245
whom you seek,
H6597
will suddenly
H935
come
H1964
to his temple;
H4397
and the messenger
H1285
of the covenant,
H2655
whom you desire,
H935
behold, he comes!"
H559
says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
2
H3557
"But who can endure
H3117
the day
H935
of his coming?
H5975
And who will stand
H7200
when he appears?
H6884
For he is like a refiner's
H784
fire,
H3526
and like launderer's
H1287
soap;
3
H3427
and he will sit
H6884
as a refiner
H2891
and purifier
H3701
of silver,
H2891
and he will purify
H1121
the sons
H3878
of Levi,
H2212
and refine
H2091
them as gold
H3701
and silver;
H5066
and they shall offer
H3068
to Yahweh
H4503
offerings
H6666
in righteousness.
4
H4503
Then the offering
H3063
of Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem
H6149
will be pleasant
H3068
to Yahweh,
H3117
as in the days
H5769
of old,
H6931
and as in ancient
H8141
years.
5
H7126
I will come 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 the
H7650
perjurers,
H6231
and against those who oppress
H7916
the hireling
H7939
in his wages,
H490
the widow,
H3490
and the fatherless,
H5186
and who deprive
H1616
the foreigner
H3372
of justice, and don't fear
H559
me," says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
6
H3068
"For I, Yahweh,
H8138
don't change;
H1121
therefore you, sons
H3290
of Jacob,
H3615
are not consumed.
7
H3117
From the days
H1
of your fathers
H5493
you have turned aside
H2706
from my ordinances,
H8104
and have not kept
H7725
them. Return
H7725
to me, and I will return
H559
to you," says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
H559
"But you say,
H7725
‘How shall we return?'
8
H120
Will a man
H6906
rob
H430
God?
H6906
Yet you rob
H559
me! But you say,
H6906
‘How have we robbed
H4643
you?' In tithes
H8641
and offerings.
10
H935
Bring
H4643
the whole tithe
H214
into the storehouse,
H2964
that there may be food
H1004
in my house,
H974
and test
H2063
me now in this,"
H559
says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H6605
"if I will not open
H699
you the windows
H8064
of heaven,
H7324
and pour you out
H1293
a blessing,
H1767
that there shall not be room enough for.
11
H1605
I will rebuke
H398
the devourer
H7843
for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
H6529
the fruits
H127
of your ground;
H1612
neither shall your vine
H7921
cast its fruit
H7704
before its time in the field,"
H559
says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
12
H1471
"All nations
H833
shall call you blessed,
H2656
for you will be a delightful
H776
land,"
H559
says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies.
13
H1697
"Your words
H2388
have been stout
H559
against me," says
H3068
Yahweh.
H559
"Yet you say,
H1696
‘What have we spoken against you?'
14
H559
You have said,
H7723
‘It is vain
H5647
to serve
H430
God;'
H1215
and ‘What profit
H8104
is it that we have followed
H4931
his instructions,
H1980
and that we have walked
H6941
mournfully
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies?
15
H833
Now we call
H2086
the proud
H833
happy;
H6213
yes, those who work
H7564
wickedness
H1129
are built up;
H974
yes, they tempt
H430
God,
H4422
and escape.'
16
H3373
Then those who feared
H3068
Yahweh
H1696
spoke
H376
one
H7453
with another;
H3068
and Yahweh
H7181
listened,
H8085
and heard,
H5612
and a book
H2146
of memory
H3789
was written
H6440
before
H3373
him, for those who feared
H3068
Yahweh,
H2803
and who honored
H8034
his name.
