H7971 [H8802]
Behold, I will send
H4397
my messenger,
H6437 [H8765]
and he shall prepare
H1870
the way
H6440
at the face of
H113
me: and the Sovereign,
H1245 [H8764]
whom ye seek,
H6597
shall suddenly
H935 [H8799]
come
H1964
to his temple,
H4397
even the messenger
H1285
of the covenant,
H2655
in whom ye are pleased:
H935 [H8804]
behold, he shall come,
H559 [H8804]
saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
2
H3557 [H8772]
But who may abide
H3117
the day
H935 [H8800]
of his coming?
H5975 [H8802]
and who shall stand
H7200 [H8736]
when he appeareth?
H6884 [H8764]
for he is like a refiner's
H784
fire,
H3526 [H8764]
and like fullers'
H1287
soap:
3
H3427 [H8804]
And he shall sit
H6884 [H8764]
as a refiner
H2891 [H8764]
and purifier
H3701
of silver:
H2891 [H8765]
and he shall purify
H1121
the sons
H3878
of Levi,
H2212 [H8765]
and purge
H2091
them as gold
H3701
and silver,
H5066 [H8688]
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 [H8804]
be pleasant
H3068
to the LORD,
H3117
as in the days
H5769
of old,
H6931
and as in former
H8141
years.
5
H7126 [H8804]
And I will come near
H4941
to you to judgment;
H4116 [H8764]
and I will be a swift
H5707
witness
H3784 [H8764]
against the sorcerers,
H5003 [H8764]
and against the adulterers,
H8267
and against false
H7650 [H8737]
swearers,
H6231 [H8802]
and against those that oppress
H7916
the hireling
H7939
in his wages,
H490
the widow,
H3490
and the fatherless,
H5186 [H8688]
and that turn aside
H1616
the guest
H3372 [H8804]
from his right, and fear
H559 [H8804]
not me, saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
6
H3068
For I am the LORD,
H8138 [H8804]
I change
H1121
not; therefore ye sons
H3290
of Jacob
H3615 [H8804]
are not consumed.
7
H3117
Even from the days
H1
of your fathers
H5493 [H8804]
ye have gone away
H2706
from my statutes,
H8104 [H8804]
and have not kept
H7725 [H8798]
them. Return
H7725 [H8799]
to me, and I will return
H559 [H8804]
to you, saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
H559 [H8804]
But ye said,
H7725 [H8799]
How shall we return?
8
H120
Will a man
H6906 [H8799]
rob
H430
God?
H6906 [H8802]
Yet ye have robbed
H559 [H8804]
me. But ye say,
H6906 [H8804]
How have we robbed
H4643
thee? In tithes
H8641
and offerings.
9
H779 [H8737]
Ye are cursed
H3994
with a curse:
H6906 [H8802]
for ye have robbed
H1471
me, even this whole nation.
10
H935 [H8685]
Bring
H4643
ye all the tithes
H214
into the storehouse,
H2964
that there may be food
H1004
in my house,
H974 [H8798]
and prove
H2063
me now in this,
H559 [H8804]
saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts,
H6605 [H8799]
if I will not open
H699
for you the windows
H8064
of heaven,
H7324 [H8689]
and pour you out
H1293
a blessing,
H1767
that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11
H1605 [H8804]
And I will chide
H398 [H8802]
the devourer
H7843 [H8686]
for your sakes, and he shall not decay
H6529
the fruits
H127
of your soil;
H1612
neither shall your vine
H7921 [H8762]
cast her fruit
H7704
before the time in the field,
H559 [H8804]
saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
12
H1471
And all nations
H833 [H8765]
shall call you blessed:
H2656
for ye shall be a delightsome
H776
land,
H559 [H8804]
saith
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts.
13
H1697
Your words
H2388 [H8804]
have been stout
H559 [H8804]
against me, saith
H3068
the LORD.
H559 [H8804]
Yet ye say,
H1696 [H8738]
What have we spoken so much against thee?
14
H559 [H8804]
Ye have said,
H7723
It is vain
H5647 [H8800]
to serve
H430
God:
H1215
and what profit
H8104 [H8804]
is it that we have kept
H4931
his charge,
H1980 [H8804]
and that we have walked
H6941
mournfully
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD
H6635
of hosts?
15
H6258
And now
H587
we
H833 0
call
H2086
the proud
H833 [H8764]
happy;
H1571
yea,
H6213 [H8802]
they that work
H7564
wickedness
H1129 [H8738]
are set up;
H1571
even
H974 0
they that have put
H430
God
H974 [H8804]
to the proof
H4422 [H8735]
are delivered.
16
H3373
Then they that feared
H3068
the LORD
H1696 [H8738]
spoke often
H376
one
H7453
to another:
H3068
and the LORD
H7181 [H8686]
pricked up his ear,
H8085 [H8799]
and heard
H5612
it, and a book
H2146
of remembrance
H3789 [H8735]
was written
H6440
at the face of
H3373
him for them that feared
H3068
the LORD,
H2803 [H8802]
and that thought
H8034
upon his name.
