3:1 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:
euen
ye
messenger
of
the
Couenant,
whom
ye
delight
in:
behold,
he
shall
come,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
3:2 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.
3:3 And
he
shall
sit
as
a
refiner
and
purifier
of
siluer:
and
he
shall
purifie
the
sonnes
of
Leui,
and
purge
them
as
gold
&
siluer,
that
they
may
offer
vnto
the
Lord
an
offring
in
righteousnes.
3:4 Then
shall
the
offerings
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
bee
pleasant
vnto
the
Lord,
as
in
the
dayes
of
old,
and
as
in
former
yeeres.
3:5 And
I
will
come
neere
to
you
to
iudgement,
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.
3:6 For
I
am
the
Lord,
I
change
not:
therefore
ye
sonnes
of
Iacob
are
not
consumed.
3:7 Euen
from
the
dayes
of
your
fathers
yee
are
gone
away
from
mine
ordinances,
and
haue
not
kept
them:
returne
vnto
me,
and
I
will
returne
vnto
you,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
But
ye
said,
Wherein
shall
we
returne
3:8 Wil
a
man
rob
God
yet
ye
haue
robbed
me.
But
ye
say,
Wherein
haue
we
robbed
thee
In
tithes
&
offerings.
3:9 Ye
are
cursed
with
a
curse:
for
ye
haue
robbed
me,
euen
this
whole
nation.
3:10 Bring
ye
all
the
tithes
into
the
store-house,
that
there
may
be
meate
in
mine
house,
&
proue
me
now
herewith,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes,
if
I
will
not
open
you
the
windowes
of
heauen,
and
powre
you
out
a
blessing,
that
there
shall
not
be
roome
enough
to
receiue
it.
3:11 And
I
wil
rebuke
the
deuourer
for
your
sakes:
and
he
shal
not
destroy
the
fruits
of
your
ground,
neither
shal
your
vine
cast
her
fruit
before
the
time
in
the
field,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
3:12 And
all
nations
shall
call
you
blessed:
for
ye
shall
be
a
delightsome
land,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
3:13 Your
words
haue
bin
stout
against
me,
saith
the
Lord,
yet
ye
say,
What
haue
we
spoken
so
much
against
thee
3:14 Ye
haue
said,
It
is
vaine
to
serue
God:
and
what
profit
is
it,
that
we
haue
kept
his
ordinance,
and
that
wee
haue
walked
mournfully
before
the
Lord
of
hosts
3:15 And
now
we
call
the
proud
happy:
yea,
they
that
worke
wickednes
are
set
vp,
yea
they
that
tempt
God,
are
euen
deliuered.
3:16 Then
they
that
feared
the
Lord,
spake
often
one
to
another,
and
the
Lord
hearkened
and
heard
it,
&
a
booke
of
remembrance
was
written
before
him,
for
them
that
feared
the
Lord,
&
that
thought
vpon
his
name.
3:17 And
they
shall
be
mine,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
in
that
day
when
I
make
vp
my
iewels,
and
I
wil
spare
them
as
a
man
spareth
his
owne
sonne
that
serueth
him.
3:18 Then
shall
yee
returne
and
discerne
betweene
the
righteous
and
the
wicked,
betweene
him
that
serueth
God,
and
him
that
serueth
him
not.
