Malachi 3:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will (A)purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may (B)present to the Lord [a]offerings in righteousness. 4 Then the [b]offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be (C)pleasing to the Lord as in the (D)days of old and as in former years.
5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the (E)sorcerers and against the (F)adulterers and against those who (G)swear falsely, and against those who oppress the (H)wage earner in his wages, the (I)widow and the [c]orphan, and those who turn aside the [d](J)alien and do not [e]fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.
