Malachi:3:1 @
Behold ,
I send my messenger ,
and he shall prepare the way before me :
and the Lord ,
whom ye seek ,
will suddenly come to his temple ;
and the messenger of the covenant ,
whom ye desire ,
behold ,
he cometh ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
asv @
Malachi:3:2 @
But who can abide the day of his coming ?
and who shall stand when he appeareth ?
for he is like a refiner '
s fire ,
and like fuller '
s soap :
asv @
Malachi:3:3 @
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 unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness .
asv @
Malachi:3:4 @
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah ,
as in the days of old ,
and as in ancient years .
asv @
Malachi:3:5 @
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 the false swearers ,
and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages ,
the widow ,
and the fatherless ,
and that turn aside the sojourner from his right ,
and fear not me ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
asv @
Malachi:3:6 @
For I ,
Jehovah ,
change not ;
therefore ye ,
O sons of Jacob ,
are not consumed .
asv @
Malachi:3:7 @
From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances ,
and have not kept them .
Return unto me ,
and I will return unto you ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
But ye say ,
Wherein shall we return ?
asv @
Malachi:3:8 @
Will a man rob God ?
yet ye rob me .
But ye say ,
Wherein have we robbed thee ?
In tithes and offerings .
asv @
Malachi:3:9 @
Ye are cursed with the curse ;
for ye rob me ,
even this whole nation .
asv @
Malachi:3:10 @
Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house ,
that there may be food in my house ,
and prove me now herewith ,
saith Jehovah of hosts ,
if I will not open you the windows of heaven ,
and pour you out a blessing ,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it .
asv @
Malachi:3:11 @
And 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 the time in the field ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
asv @
Malachi:3:12 @
And all nations shall call you happy ;
for ye shall be a delightsome land ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
asv @
Malachi:3:13 @
Your words have been stout against me ,
saith Jehovah .
Yet ye say ,
What have we spoken against thee ?
asv @
Malachi:3:14 @
Ye 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 Jehovah of hosts ?
asv @
Malachi:3:15 @
And now we call the proud happy ;
yea ,
they that work wickedness are built up ;
yea ,
they tempt God ,
and escape .
asv @
Malachi:3:16 @
Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another ;
and Jehovah hearkened ,
and heard ,
and a book of remembrance was written before him ,
for them that feared Jehovah ,
and that thought upon his name .
asv @
Malachi:3:17 @
And they shall be mine ,
saith Jehovah of hosts ,
even mine own possession ,
in the day that I make ;
and I will spare them ,
as a man spareth his own son that serveth him .
asv @
Malachi:3:18 @
Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked ,
between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not .
