Malachi 3:2-3

2 “But who can endure (A)the day of His coming?
And (B)who can stand when He appears?
For (C)He is like a refiner’s fire
And like launderers’ soap.

He will purify the sons of Levi,
And [a]purge them as gold and silver,
That they may (E)offer to the Lord
An offering in righteousness.
