1

Behold, I will send [7971] my messenger, [4397] and he shall prepare [6437] the way [1870] before [6440] me: and the Lord, [0113] whom ye seek, [1245] shall suddenly [6597] come [0935] to his temple, [1964] even the messenger [4397] of the covenant, [1285] whom ye delight [2655] in: behold, he shall come, [0935] saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635]

2

But who may abide [3557] the day [3117] of his coming? [0935] and who shall stand [5975] when he appeareth? [7200] for he [is] like a refiner's [6884] fire, [0784] and like fullers' [3526] soap: [1287]

3

And he shall sit [3427] [as] a refiner [6884] and purifier [2891] of silver: [3701] and he shall purify [2891] the sons [1121] of Levi, [3878] and purge [2212] them as gold [2091] and silver, [3701] that they may offer [5066] unto the LORD [3068] an offering [4503] in righteousness. [6666]

4

Then shall the offering [4503] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem [3389] be pleasant [6149] unto the LORD, [3068] as in the days [3117] of old, [5769] and as in former [6931] years. [8141]

5

And I will come near [7126] to you to judgment; [4941] and I will be a swift [4116] witness [5707] against the sorcerers, [3784] and against the adulterers, [5003] and against false [8267] swearers, [7650] and against those that oppress [6231] the hireling [7916] in [his] wages, [7939] the widow, [0490] and the fatherless, [3490] and that turn aside [5186] the stranger [1616] [from his right], and fear [3372] not me, saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635]

6

For I [am] the LORD, [3068] I change [8138] not; therefore ye sons [1121] of Jacob [3290] are not consumed. [3615]

7

Even from the days [3117] of your fathers [0001] ye are gone away [5493] from mine ordinances, [2706] and have not kept [8104] [them]. Return [7725] unto me, and I will return [7725] unto you, saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635] But ye said, [0559] Wherein shall we return? [7725]

8

Will a man [0120] rob [6906] God? [0430] Yet ye have robbed [6906] me. But ye say, [0559] Wherein have we robbed [6906] thee? In tithes [4643] and offerings. [8641]

9

Ye [are] cursed [0779] with a curse: [3994] for ye have robbed [6906] me, [even] this whole nation. [1471]

10

Bring [0935] ye all the tithes [4643] into the storehouse, [1004] [0214] that there may be meat [2964] in mine house, [1004] and prove [0974] me now herewith, [2063] saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] if I will not open [6605] you the windows [0699] of heaven, [8064] and pour you out [7324] a blessing, [1293] that [there shall] not [be room] enough [1767] [to receive it].

11

And I will rebuke [1605] the devourer [0398] for your sakes, and he shall not destroy [7843] the fruits [6529] of your ground; [0127] neither shall your vine [1612] cast her fruit before the time [7921] in the field, [7704] saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635]

12

And all nations [1471] shall call you blessed: [0833] for ye shall be a delightsome [2656] land, [0776] saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts. [6635]

13

Your words [1697] have been stout [2388] against me, saith [0559] the LORD. [3068] Yet ye say, [0559] What have we spoken [1696] [so much] against thee?

14

Ye have said, [0559] It [is] vain [7723] to serve [5647] God: [0430] and what profit [1215] [is it] that we have kept [8104] his ordinance, [4931] and that we have walked [1980] mournfully [6941] before [6440] the LORD [3068] of hosts? [6635]

15

And now we call the proud [2086] happy; [0833] yea, they that work [6213] wickedness [7564] are set up; [1129] yea, [they that] tempt [0974] God [0430] are even delivered. [4422]

16

Then they that feared [3373] the LORD [3068] spake [1696] often one [0376] to another: [7453] and the LORD [3068] hearkened, [7181] and heard [8085] [it], and a book [5612] of remembrance [2146] was written [3789] before [6440] him for them that feared [3373] the LORD, [3068] and that thought [2803] upon his name. [8034]

17

And they shall be mine, saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] in that day [3117] when I make up [6213] my jewels; [5459] and I will spare [2550] them, as a man [0376] spareth [2550] his own son [1121] that serveth [5647] him.

18

Then shall ye return, [7725] and discern [7200] between the righteous [6662] and the wicked, [7563] between him that serveth [5647] God [0430] and him that serveth [5647] him not.
