Lexicon :: Strong's H4397 - mal'āḵ

Bless ^H1288 the LORD ^H3068, you His angels ^H4397,

Mighty ^H1368 in strength ^H3581, who perform ^H6213 His word ^H1697,

Obeying ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of His word ^H1697!

[fn]He makes ^H6213 [fn]the winds ^H7307 His messengers ^H4397,

[fn]Flaming ^H3857 fire ^H784 His ministers ^H8334.

Praise ^H1984 Him, all ^H3605 His angels ^H4397;

Praise ^H1984 Him, all ^H3605 His heavenly armies ^H6635!

A wicked ^H7563 messenger ^H4397 falls ^H5307 into adversity ^H7451,

But a faithful ^H529 messenger ^H6735 brings healing ^H4832.

The fury ^H2534 of a king ^H4428 is like messengers ^H4397 of death ^H4194;

But a wise ^H2450 person ^H376 will appease ^H3722 it.

A rebellious ^H4805 person ^H4805 seeks ^H1245 only ^H389 evil ^H7451,

So a cruel ^H394 messenger ^H4397 will be sent ^H7971 against him.

“What ^H4100 answer ^H6030 will one give ^H6030 the messengers ^H4397 of the nation ^H1471?

That the LORD ^H3068 has founded ^H3245 Zion ^H6726,

And the poor ^H6041 of His people ^H5971 will take ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 in it.”

Which sends ^H7971 messengers ^H6735 by the sea ^H3220,

Even in papyrus ^H1573 vessels ^H3627 on the surface ^H6440 of the waters ^H4325.

Go ^H1980, swift ^H7031 messengers ^H4397, to a nation ^H1471 [fn]tall ^H4900 and smooth ^H4803,

To a people ^H5971 feared ^H3372 [fn]far ^H4480 H1931 and wide ^H1973,

A powerful ^H6978 and oppressive ^H4001 nation ^H1471

Whose ^H834 land ^H776 the rivers ^H5104 divide ^H958.

“For their officials ^H8269 are at Zoan ^H6814

And their ambassadors ^H4397 arrive ^H5060 at Hanes ^H2609.

Behold ^H2005, their brave ^H691 men ^H691 cry ^H6817 out ^H6817 [fn]in the streets ^H2351,

The [fn]ambassadors ^H4397 of peace ^H7965 weep ^H1058 bitterly ^H4751.

Then Hezekiah ^H2396 took ^H3947 the [fn]letter ^H5612 from the hand ^H3027 of the messengers ^H4397 and read ^H7121 it, and he went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068 and [fn]spread ^H6566 it out ^H6566 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068.

Then the angel ^H4397 of the LORD ^H3068 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 and struck ^H5221 185,000 ^{H3967 H8084 H2568 H505} in the camp ^H4264 of the Assyrians ^H804; and when the rest got ^H7925 up ^H7925 early ^H7925 in the morning ^H1242, behold ^H2009, all ^H3605 of [fn]the 185,000 were [fn]dead ^H4191 H6297.

Who ^H4310 is blind ^H5787 but My servant ^H5650,

Or so deaf ^H2795 as My messenger ^H4397 whom I send ^H7971?

Who ^H4310 is so blind ^H5787 as one who is [fn]at peace ^H7999 with Me,

Or so blind ^H5787 as the servant ^H5650 of the LORD ^H3068?

Confirming ^H6965 the word ^H1697 of His servant ^H5650

And [fn]carrying ^H7999 out ^H7999 the purpose ^H6098 of His messengers ^H4397.

It is I who says ^H559 of Jerusalem ^H3389, ‘She shall be inhabited ^H3427!’

And of the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, ‘They shall be built ^H1129.’

And I will raise ^H6965 her ruins ^H2723 again.

In all ^H3605 their distress ^H6869 [fn]He was distressed ^H6862,

And the angel ^H4397 of His presence ^H6440 saved ^H3467 them;

In His love ^H160 and in His mercy ^H2551 He redeemed ^H1350 them,

And He lifted ^H5190 them and carried ^H5375 them all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of old ^H5769.

“Furthermore ^H637, [fn]they have even ^H3588 sent ^H7971 for men ^H376 who come ^H935 from a great ^H4801 distance ^H4801, to whom ^H834 a messenger ^H4397 was sent ^H7971; and behold ^H2009, they came ^H935—for whom ^H834 you bathed ^H7364, put ^H3583 makeup ^H3583 on your eyes ^H5869, and adorned ^H5710 yourselves ^H5710 with jewelry ^H5716;

“On that day ^H3117 messengers ^H4397 will go ^H3318 out ^H3318 from Me in ships ^H6716 to frighten ^H2729 carefree ^H983 [fn]Cush ^H3568; and trembling ^H2479 will come ^H1961 on them as on the day ^H3117 of Egypt ^H4714; for behold ^H2009, it is coming ^H935!”

Yes, he wrestled ^H8280 with the angel ^H4397 and prevailed ^H3201;

He wept ^H1058 and implored ^H2603 His favor ^H2603.

He found ^H4672 Him at Bethel ^H1008,

And there ^H8033 He spoke ^H1696 with us,

“Behold ^H2009, I am against ^H413 you,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635. “I will burn ^H1197 up ^H1197 her chariots ^H7393 in smoke ^H6227, and a sword ^H2719 will devour ^H398 your young ^H3715 lions ^H3715; I will eliminate ^H3772 your prey ^H2964 from the land ^H776, and no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 will the voice ^H6963 of your messengers ^H4397 be heard ^H8085.”

Then he showed ^H7200 me Joshua ^H3091 the high ^H1419 priest ^H3548 standing ^H5975 before ^H6440 the angel ^H4397 of the LORD ^H3068, and [fn]Satan ^H7854 standing ^H5975 at his right ^H3225 to accuse ^H7853 him.

Then the angel ^H4397 who had been speaking ^H1696 with me returned ^H7725 and woke ^H5782 me, like a person ^H376 who ^H834 is awakened ^H5782 from his sleep ^H8142.

Then the angel ^H4397 who had been speaking ^H1696 with me went ^H3318 out ^H3318 and said ^H559 to me, “Now ^H4994 raise ^H5375 your eyes ^H5869 and see ^H7200 what ^H4100 this ^H2088 is that is going ^H3318 forth ^H3318.”

“Behold ^H2009, I am sending ^H7971 My [fn]messenger ^H4397, and he will clear ^H6437 a way ^H1870 before ^H6440 Me. And the Lord ^H113, whom ^H834 you are seeking ^H1245, will suddenly ^H6597 come ^H935 to His temple ^H1964; [fn]and the [fn]messenger ^H4397 of the covenant ^H1285, in whom ^H834 you delight ^H2655, behold ^H2009, He is coming ^H935,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635.
