1 Beholde, I will send my messenger, and he shal prepare the way before mee: and the Lord whom ye seeke, 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.

2 But who may abide the day of his comming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiners fire, and like fullers sope.

3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purifie the sonnes of Levi, and purge them as gold & silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offring in righteousnes.

4 Then shall the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem bee pleasant unto the Lord, as in the dayes of old, and as in former yeeres.

5 And I will come neere to you to judgement, and I will bee a swift witnesse against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppresse the hireling in his wages, the widowe, and the fatherlesse, and that turne aside the stranger from his right, and feare not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

6 For I am the Lord, I change not: therefore ye sonnes of Iacob are not consumed.

7 ¶ Even from the dayes of your fathers yee are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them: returne unto me, and I will returne unto you, saith the Lord of hosts: But ye said, Wherein shall we returne?
