- 萬軍之耶和華說、我要差遣我的使者、在我前面豫備道路.你們所尋求的主、必忽然進入他的殿.立約的使者、就是你們所仰慕的、快要來到。
- 他來的日子、誰能當得起呢.他顯現的時候、誰能立得住呢.因為他如煉金之人的火、如漂布之人的鹼。
- 他必坐下如煉淨銀子的、必潔淨利未人、熬煉他們像金銀一樣、他們就憑公義獻供物給耶和華。
- 那時、猶大和耶路撒冷所獻的供物、必蒙耶和華悅納、彷彿古時之日、上古之年。
- 萬軍之耶和華說、我必臨近你們、施行審判.我必速速作見證、警戒行邪術的、犯姦淫的、起假誓的、虧負人之工價的、欺壓寡婦孤兒的、屈枉寄居的、和不敬畏我的。

- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
- 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.
