Malachi 3:2-4

Common English Bible

² Who can endure the day of his coming?
        Who can withstand his appearance?
He is like the refiner’s fire or the cleaner’s soap.
³ He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver.
        He will purify the Levites
            and refine them like gold and silver.
            They will belong to the Lord,
                presenting a righteous offering.
⁴ The offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord
        as in ancient days and in former years.
