2 And who measures the day of his coming? And who stands when he is seen? - for he is as the fire of a refiner and as the soap of a fullers:
3 and he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he purifies the sons of Levi and purges them as gold and silver, so that they bring near an offering in justness to Yah Veh.
4 nd the offering of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem pleases Yah Veh - as in the original eternal days and as in ancient years.
5 And I approach you for judgment; and I become a hasty witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false oathers and against those who oppress the hireling in his hire - the widow and the orphan; and who pervert the sojourner and awe me not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.
6 For I - Yah Veh; I change not: so you sons of Yaaqov are not finished off.

TITHING
Even from the days of your fathers you turn aside from my statutes and guard them not. Return to me and I return to you, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. And you say, Return in what? 8 A human, defrauds he Elohim? - yet you defraud me. And you say, Wherein defraud we you? In tithes and exaltments. 9 You are cursed with a curse: for you defraud me - this whole goyim. 10 Bring all your tithes into the treasure house, that there be prey in my house; and proof me, I beseech, herewith, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, if I not open the windows of the heavens to you and pour a blessing until you not have sufficient. 11 And for your sakes, I rebuke the devourer that he neither ruin the fruits of your soil; nor your vine abort her fruit ere its time in the field, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. 12 And all goyim call you blithesome: for you become a delightsome land, says Yah Veh Sabaoth. 13 Your words prevail against me, says Yah Veh. Yet you say, What word we against you? 14 You say, It is vain to serve Elohim! and, What greedy gain is it to guard his guard, and to walk darkly at the face of Yah Veh Sabaoth? 15 And now we call the arrogant, blithesome; yes, those working wickedness are built up; yes, they proof Elohim, and escape. 16
THE SCROLL OF REMEMBRANCE
Then they who awe Yah Veh word man to friend: and Yah Veh hearkens and hears and inscribes a scroll of remembrance at his face of them who awe Yah Veh and of them who fabricate his name. 17 And they are mine, says Yah Veh Sabaoth, in that day, when I work my peculiar treasure; and I spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him: 18 and you return and see between the just and the wicked, between him who serves Elohim and between him who serves him not.
