Malachi 3:1-3 ▼

1 “Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me . Then the Lord whom you⁺ seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you⁺ delight—see, He is coming,” says the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts.

2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire, like a launderer’s soap.

3 And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi (joined to) and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the LORD {YHWH} in righteousness.
