Malachi 3:2-4

²And who shall be able to think of the day of his coming? and who shall stand to see him? for he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller’s herb:b

³And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in justice.c

⁴And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years.
