Malachi 3:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 And 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 come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the (E)sorcerers, the (F)adulterers, against those who (G)swear falsely, those who [c]oppress the (H)wage earner in his wages or the (I)widow or the [d]orphan, and those who turn away the (J)stranger from justice and do not [e]fear Me,” says the Lord of armies.
