Malachi 3:2-5

Malachi 3:2-5

[2] But who may abide  the day  of his coming?  and who shall stand  when he appeareth?  for he is like a refiner's  fire,  and like fullers'  soap:  [3] And he shall sit  as a refiner  and purifier  of silver:  and he shall purify  the sons  of Levi,  and purge  them as gold  and silver,  that they may offer  unto the LORD  an offering  in righteousness.  [4] Then shall the offering  of Judah  and Jerusalem  be pleasant  unto the LORD,  as in the days  of old,  and as in former  years.  [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 false  swearers,  and against those that oppress  the hireling  in his wages,  the widow,  and the fatherless,  and that turn aside  the stranger  from his right, and fear  not me, saith  the LORD  of hosts.
