Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall clear the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in, behold, he shall come, says the Lord of hosts.

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like the washers’ soap:

and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

Then shall the offering of Yehuda and Yerushalayim be pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says the Lord of hosts.

For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you sons of Ya῾aqov are not consumed.

From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you have said, With what shall we return?

Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say, In what have we robbed Thee? In tithes and offerings.

You are cursed with a curse: for you have robbed me, this whole nation.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test with that, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you blessing immeasurable.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; nor shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts.

And all nations shall call you blessed: for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

Your words have been strong against me, says the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken against Thee?

You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

And now we call the proud happy; they who work wickedness are even built up; even they who tempt God escape.

Then they who feared the Lord spoke to one another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for those who feared the Lord, and took heed of his name.

And they shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, on that day which I appoint as my particular day; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.

Then you shall return, and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that does not serve him.

For, behold, that day is coming; it burns like a furnace; and all the arrogant, and all who do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings; and you shall go out, and leap like calves from the stall.

And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this, says the Lord of hosts.

Remember the Tora of Moshe my servant, which I commanded him in Ḥorev for all Yisra᾽el, both statutes and judgments.

Behold, I will send you Eliyya, the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.
