3 Lo, I send my Envoy to clear the way for me; and the Lord for whom you long will come suddenly to his temple [[that Envoy of the Compact whom you desire; he is coming--the Lord of hosts declares]]. 2 But who can face the day of his arrival, who can stand when he appears? For he is like the fire of smelters and the acid used by fullers; 3 he will sit down to smelt and purge, purging the sons of Levi, refining them like silver and gold, until he finds them men who will bring honest sacrifices. 4 Then shall the sacrifices of Judah and Jerusalem be welcome to the Eternal as they were in days of old, in years gone by. 5 I will draw near to you for judgment; I will be a prompt witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud widows and orphans and labourers of their wages, against those who wrong a foreigner, having no fear of me, the Lord of hosts declares.
13 Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord of hosts. ‘How have we spoken against thee?’ you ask. 14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God,’ and ‘What gain is it to do his bidding, to walk in penitent garb before the Lord of hosts? 15 It is the worldly, we find, who are well off; evildoers prosper, they dare God--and they escape!’ ”
16 So indeed they muttered. But meanwhile those who worshipped the Eternal talked to each other, and the Eternal heeded them and heard them; before him lies a record of his worshippers who adhere to him. 17 “And I will claim them,” the Lord of hosts declares, “as my own prized possession, on the day when I take action; I will spare them, as a man spares the son who works in his service. 18 Then once more shall you see the difference between good and bad, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.
