Malachi 3 Behold, I will send my messenger , and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord , whom ye seek , shall suddenly come to his temple , even the messenger of the covenant , whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come , saith the LORD of hosts.

1 H7971 [H8802] Behold, I will send H4397 my messenger H6437 [H8765] , and he shall prepare H1870 the way H6440 before H113 me: and the Lord H1245 [H8764] , whom ye seek H6597 , shall suddenly H935 [H8799] come H1964 to his temple H4397 , even the messenger H1285 of the covenant H2655 , whom ye delight H935 [H8804] in: 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 stranger 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 ordinances 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 test 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 rebuke H398 [H8802] the devourer H7843 [H8686] for your sakes, and he shall not destroy H6529 the fruits H127 of your ground 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 ordinance H1980 [H8804] , and that we have walked H6941 mournfully H6440 before H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts?

15 H833 0 And now we call H2086 the proud H833 [H8764] happy H6213 [H8802] ; yea, they that work H7564 wickedness H1129 [H8738] are set up H974 [H8804] ; even they that tempt H430 God 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] hearkened H8085 [H8799] , and heard H5612 it, and a book H2146 of remembrance H3789 [H8735] was written H6440 before H3373 him for them that feared H3068 the LORD H2803 [H8802] , and that thought H8034 upon his name.

17 H559 [H8804] And they shall be mine, saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H3117 , in that day H6213 [H8802] when I make up H5459 my jewels H2550 [H8804] ; and I will spare H376 them, as a man H2550 [H8799] spareth H1121 his own son H5647 [H8802] that serveth him.

18 H7725 [H8804] Then shall ye return H7200 [H8804] , and discern H6662 between the righteous H7563 and the wicked H5647 [H8802] , between him that serveth H430 God H5647 [H8804] and him that serveth him not.
