Malachi 3:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire, and like launderer’s soap.
3
And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the
Lord
offerings in righteousness.
4
Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the
Lord
as in the 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 sorcerers, the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, those who oppress the wage earner in his wages
or
the widow or the orphan, and those who turn away the stranger
from justice
and do not fear Me,' says the
Lord
of armies.
6
For I, the
Lord
, do not change; therefore you, the sons of Jacob, have not come to an end.
King James Version
Chapter 3
2
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:
3
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.
4
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the
Lord
, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5
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.
6
For I am the
Lord
, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will be able to stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire and like launderer’s bleach.
3
He will be like a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the
Lord
in righteousness.
4
And the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will please the
Lord
as in days of old and years gone by.
5
"I will come to you in judgment, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the hired worker, the widow, and the fatherless; and against those who deny justice to the resident alien. They do not fear me," says the
Lord
of Armies.
6
"Because I, the
Lord
, have not changed, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
2
But who will be able to endure it when he comes? Who will be able to stand and face him when he appears? For he will be like a blazing fire that refines metal, or like a strong soap that bleaches clothes.
3
He will sit like a refiner of silver, burning away the dross. He will purify the Levites, refining them like gold and silver, so that they may once again offer acceptable sacrifices to the
Lord
.
4
Then once more the
Lord
will accept the offerings brought to him by the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as he did in the past.
5
At that time I will put you on trial. I am eager to witness against all sorcerers and adulterers and liars. I will speak against those who cheat employees of their wages, who oppress widows and orphans, or who deprive the foreigners living among you of justice, for these people do not fear me,' says the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
6
I am the
Lord
, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed.

Lord
Almighty.
6
"I the
Lord
do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

And who can stand when He appears?
For He
is
like a refiner’s fire
And like launderers’ soap.

And purge them as gold and silver,
That they may offer to the

An offering in righteousness.

Will be pleasant to the
Lord
,
As in the days of old,
As in former years.

I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
Against perjurers,
Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the
Lord
of hosts.
6
“For I
am
the
Lord
, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
