Malachi 3

1
โ€œBehold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.
2
โ€œBut who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refinerโ€™s fire, and like launderersโ€™ soap;
3
and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.
4
Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to Yahweh, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
5
I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and donโ€™t fear me,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.
6
โ€œFor I, Yahweh, donโ€™t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
7
From the days of your fathers you have turned away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies. โ€œBut you say, โ€˜How shall we return?โ€™
8
Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, โ€˜How have we robbed you?โ€™ In tithes and offerings.
9
You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation.
10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies, โ€œif I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for.
11
I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.
12
โ€œAll nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies.
13
โ€œYour words have been stout against me,โ€ says Yahweh. โ€œYet you say, โ€˜What have we spoken against you?โ€™
14
You have said, โ€˜It is vain to serve God;โ€™ and โ€˜What profit is it that we have followed his instructions, and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Armies?
15
Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.โ€™
16
Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name.
17
They shall be mine,โ€ says Yahweh of Armies, โ€œmy own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
18
Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesnโ€™t serve him.
