Malachi 3:1-5

Malachi 3:1-5 TPT

KJVNIVNLTNKJVESV

“Behold! I am sending my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly, the Lord whom you long for will enter his temple. The messenger of the covenant, your soul’s delight, will certainly come,” says YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who will not fall down in worship when the Lord is unveiled? For he will carry out a purifying process. He will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s bleach. He will be as a silversmith who sits refining and purifying silver. He will purify the Levites, refining his priests until they are like pure gold and fine silver. Then I, YAHWEH, will have those who bring me offerings in righteousness. And the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to me, as in former times and years past. “So I will come near to you and put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers, and those who lie under oath, against those who cheat workers of their wages, who oppress the widows and orphans and ignore the immigrants but who do not live in awe of me. This is YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, speaking to you.
