Malachi 3:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “But who can (A)endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a (B)refiner’s fire and like [a]fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will (C)purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may (D)present to the Lord [b]offerings in righteousness. 4 Then the [c]offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be (E)pleasing to the Lord as in the (F)days of old and as in former years.
