39:002:017 Ye have wearied the lord with your words.  Yet ye say, Wherein
           have we wearied him?  When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is
           good in the sight of the lord, and he delighteth in them; or,
           Where is the God of judgment?

39:003:001 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way
           before me:  and the lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to
           his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye
           delight in:  behold, he shall come, saith the lord of hosts.

39:003:002 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand
           when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like
           fullers’ soap: 

39:003:003 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:  and he
           shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and
           silver, that they may offer unto the lord an offering in
           righteousness.

39:003:004 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant
           unto the lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

39:003:005 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift
           witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and
           against false swearers, and against those that oppress the
           hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that
           turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith
           the lord of hosts.

39:003:006 For I am the lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob
           are not consumed.

39:003:007 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine
           ordinances, and have not kept them.  Return unto me, and I will
           return unto you, saith the lord of hosts.  But ye said, Wherein
           shall we return?

39:003:008 Will a man rob God?  Yet ye have robbed me.  But ye say, Wherein
           have we robbed thee?  In tithes and offerings.

39:003:009 Ye are cursed with a curse:  for ye have robbed me, even this
           whole nation.

39:003:010 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be
           meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the lord
           of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and
           pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough
           to receive it.

39:003:011 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall
           not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine
           cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the lord of
           hosts.

39:003:012 And all nations shall call you blessed:  for ye shall be a
           delightsome land, saith the lord of hosts.
