Malachi 3 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, says the Lord of hosts.

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

2 H3557 But who may stay H3117 the day H935 of his coming? H5975 and who shall stand H7200 when he appeared? H6884 for he is like a refiner's H784 fire, H3526 and like washermans' 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 unto the Lord H4503 a offering H6666 in righteousness.

4 H4503 Then shall the offering H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H6149 be pleasant 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 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 aside H1616 the stranger H3372 from his right, and fear H559 not me, says 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 away H2706 from my ordinances, H8104 and have not kept H7725 them. Return H7725 unto me, and I will return H559 unto you, says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts. H559 But you said, H7725 Where shall we return?

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

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

10 H935 Bring H4643 you all the tithes H214 into the storehouse, H2964 that there may be food H1004 in my house, H974 and prove H2063 me now herewith, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, 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 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; H1612 neither shall your vine H7921 cast her fruit H7704 before the time in the field, H559 says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts.

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

13 H1697 Your words H2388 have been stout H559 against me, says H3068 the Lord. H559 Yet you say, H1696 What have we spoken so much 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 kept H4931 his ordinance, H1980 and that we have walked H6941 mournfully H6440 before H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts?

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

16 H3373 Then they that feared H3068 the Lord H1696 spoke often H376 one H7453 to another: H3068 and the Lord H7181 listened, H8085 and heard H5612 it, and a book H2146 of memory H3789 was written H6440 before H3373 him for them that feared H3068 the Lord, H2803 and that thought H8034 upon his name.

17 H559 And they shall be mine, says H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H3117 in that day H6213 when I make up H5459 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 H6662 between the righteous H7563 and the wicked, H5647 between him that serve H430 God H5647 and him that serve him not.
