This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3 Here_I am_about _to _send messenger _of_my and_he _will _make _clear a _way before_me and_suddenly he _will _come to temple _of_his the_master whom you(pl) are_seeking and_the _messenger _of the _covenant whom you(pl) are_delighting THERE he_is_about _to _come YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says.

2 And_who will_endure DOM the _day _of his _coming and_who is_the_one _who _will_stand when_appears_he if/because he is_like_the_fire a _refiner and_like_the_soap washers.

3 And_he _will _sit one _who_refines and_one _who_purifies silver and_he _will _purify DOM the _descendants _of Lēvī and_he _will _refine DOM_them like_gold and_like_silver and_they _will _be to/for_YHWH bringing _near _of (of)_an _offering in_righteousness.

4 And_it _will _be _pleasing to/for_YHWH the _offering _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) like_the_days _of antiquity and_like_years former.

5 And_I _will _draw _near to_you(pl) for_judgement and_I _will _be a _witness who_hastens on_sorcerers and_on_adulterers and_on_who]_swear _an _oath to_falsehood and_on_those _who_defraud _of (of)_the_hire _of a _hired _labourer a _widow and_a _fatherless _one and_those _who_thrust _aside _of (of)_a _sojourner and_not they_fear _me YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says.

6 If/because I YHWH not I _change and_you(pl) the _descendants _of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) not you(pl)_have _come _to _an _end.

7 (To)_from_the_days _of your(pl)_ancestors _of_your(pl) you(pl)_have _turned _aside from_regulations _of_my and_not you(pl)_have _kept_them return to_me and_I _will _return to_you(pl) YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says and_you(pl)_say how will _we _return.

8 Will_ someone _he _rob god if/because you(pl) are_robbing DOM_me and_you(pl)_say how have_we _robbed _you the_tithe and_the_contribution.

9 With_curse you(pl) are_cursed and_me you(pl) the_nation of _it _of_all are_robbing.

10 Bring DOM all _of the_tithe into the _house _of the _store and_ food _let _it _be in_house _of_my and_test_me please by_this YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says if not I _will _open to/for_you(pl) DOM the _windows _of the_heavens and_I _will _pour _out to/for_you(pl) blessing until not sufficiency.

11 And_I _will _rebuke to/for_you(pl) (in)_the_which]_devours and_not it _will _destroy to/for_you(pl) DOM the _fruit _of the_soil and_not it _will _prove _barren to/for_you(pl) the_vine in _the_field YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says.

12 And_ all _of the_nations _they _will _call _blessed you(pl) if/because you(pl)_will _be you(pl) a _land _of delight YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says.

13 They _have _been _strong on_me words/messages _of_your(pl) YHWH he _says and_you(pl)_say what have _we _spoken _together on_you.

14 You(pl)_have _said is_futility to _serve god and_what is_the_profit that/for/because/then/when we _have _kept charge _of_his and_because/when we _have _walked mournfully from_face/in _front _of YHWH soldiers/messengers.

15 And_now we are_calling _blessed arrogant_people both those _who_do _of (of)_wickedness they _have _been _built _up as _well _as they _have _tested god and_they _have _escaped.

16 Then those_fearing _of (of)_YHWH they _spoke _together each with his/its_neighbour and_ YHWH _he _paid _attention and_he _listened and_ a _document _of remembrance _it _was _written before_him of_those_fearing _of (of)_YHWH and_of_those _who_esteemed _of his/its_name.

17 And_they _will _be to_me YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says to_day when I will _be_making a _possession and_I _will _have _compassion on_them just_as everyone he _has _compassion on his/its_son who_serves DOM_him/it.

18 And_you(pl)_will _return and_you(pl)_will _see between a _righteous_person and_a _wicked_person between one _who_serves _of (of)_god and_one_who not he_serves _him.

19 [fn] If/because HERE the_day is_coming it_is_burning like_oven and_they _will _be all _of arrogant_people and_all one _who_does _of (of)_wickedness stubble and_ the_day which_is_coming _it _will _set _ablaze DOM_them YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says that not it _will _leave to/for_them root and_branch.

20 [fn] And_it _will _rise to/for_you(pl) those_fearing _of name _of_(of)_my a _sun _of righteousness and_healing will_be_of_in _its _wings and_you(pl)_will _go _out and_you(pl)_will _skip _about like_calves _of the_stall.

21 [fn] And_you(pl)_will _tread _down wicked_people if/because they _will _be ash[es] under the _soles _of your _two’s _feet _of_your(pl) in _the_day when I will _be_acting YHWH soldiers/messengers he _says.

22 [fn] Remember the _instruction _of Mosheh servant _of_my which I _commanded him at_Ḩorēⱱ on all _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) regulations and_judgements.

23 [fn] HERE I am_about _to _send to/for_you(pl) DOM ʼĒliy^yāh the_prophet to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the _day _of YHWH (the)_great and_(the)_awesome comes.

24 [fn] And_he _will _turn _back the_heart _of fathers to sons and_the_heart _of sons to fathers _of_their lest I _should _come and_I _will _strike DOM the_earth/land total _destruction.
