Malachi 3 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Then I will draw ^H7126 near ^H7126 to you for judgment ^H4941; and I will be a swift ^H4116 witness ^H5707 against the sorcerers ^H3784 and against the adulterers ^H5003 and against those who swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267 and against those who oppress ^H6231 the wage ^H7916 earner ^H7916 in his wages ^H7939, the widow ^H490 and the [fn]orphan ^H3490, and those who turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 the sojourner ^H1616 and do not [fn]fear ^H3372 Me,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

“From the days ^H3117 of your fathers ^H1 you have turned ^H5493 aside ^H5493 from My statutes ^H2706 and have not kept ^H8104 them. Return ^H7725 to Me, and I will return ^H7725 to you,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635. “But you say ^H559, ‘How ^H4100 shall we return ^H7725?’

“Will a man ^H120 [fn]rob ^H6906 God ^H430? Yet ^H3588 you are robbing ^H6906 Me! But you say ^H559, ‘How ^H4100 have we robbed ^H6906 You?’ In tithes ^H4643 and [fn]contributions ^H8641.

“Your words ^H1697 have been ^H2388 strong ^H2388 against ^H5921 Me,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068. “But you say ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 have we spoken ^H1696 against ^H5921 You?’

Then ^H227 those who [fn]feared ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to one ^H376 another ^H7453, and Yahweh ^H3068 gave ^H7181 heed ^H7181 and heard ^H8085 it, and a book ^H5612 of remembrance ^H2146 was written ^H3789 before ^H6440 Him for those who [fn]fear ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068 and who think ^H2803 upon His name ^H8034.
