And refine them as gold and silver;
And they shall offer offerings in righteousness. Then shall the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant to Jehovah, As in the days of old, and as in former years. [Sidenote: Mal. 3:5, 6] 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 those who sware to that which is false, And against those who oppress the hireling, the widow, and the fatherless, Who turn aside the resident alien from his right, And fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts. For I, Jehovah, change not; But ye have not ceased to be sons of Jacob. [Sidenote: Mal. 3:7-9] From the days of thy fathers ye have turned aside from my statutes, and ye have not kept them. Turn to me and I will turn to you, saith Jehovah. But ye say, 'Wherein shall we turn?' Will a man rob God? Yet ye robbed me. But ye say, 'Wherein have we robbed thee?' In tithes and gifts. Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye rob me. [Sidenote: Mal. 3:10-12] Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, That there may be provision in mine house; and test me thereby, If I will not open to you the windows of heaven, And pour you out a blessing, until there is more than enough. |
