CHAP. III.
1 Of the messenger of the Lorde, Iohn Baptist, and of Christes
office.
1 Behold, I will send my note messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and note the Lorde
whom ye seeke, shall speedely come to his Temple:
euen the note messenger of the couenant whom
ye desire: beholde, he shall come, sayth the Lord
of hostes.
2 But who note may abide the day of his comming?
and who shall endure, when he appeareth?
for he is like a purging fire, and like fullers sope.
3 And he shall sit downe to trye and fine the
siluer: he shall euen fine the sonnes of note Leui and
purifie them as golde and siluer, that they may
bring offerings vnto the Lord in righteousnesse.
4 Then shall the offerings of Iudah and Ierusalem
be acceptable vnto the Lord, as in old time
and in the yeeres afore.
5 And I will come neere to you to iudgement,
and I will be a swift witnesse against the
southsayers, and against the adulterers, and against
false swearers, and against those that wrongfully
keepe backe the hirelings wages, and vexe the widowe,
and the fatherlesse, and oppresse the stranger,
and feare not me, sayth the Lord of hostes.
6 For I am the Lord: I change not, and ye
sonnes of Iaakob note are not consumed.
7 From the dayes of your fathers, ye are gone
away from mine ordinances, and haue not kept
them: note returne vnto me, and I will returne vnto
you, saith the Lord of hostes: but ye saide, Wherein
shall we returne?
8 Will a note man spoyle his gods? yet haue ye
spoyled me: but ye say, Wherein haue we spoyled
thee? In note tithes, and offerings.
9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye haue spoyled
me, euen this whole nation.
10 Bring ye all the tythes into the storehouse
that there may be meate in mine House, & proue
me nowe herewith, sayeth the Lord of hostes, if I
will not open the windowes of heauen vnto you,
and powre you out a blessing note without measure.
11 And I will rebuke the note deuourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruite of your
grounde, neither shall your vine be baren in the
fielde, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for
ye shall be a pleasant lande, sayeth the Lorde of
hostes.
13 Your wordes haue bene stout note against me,
sayeth the Lorde: yet ye say, What haue we spoken
against thee?
14 Ye haue saide, It is in vaine to serue God:
and what profite is it that we haue kept his commandement,
The sunne of righteousnesse.
and that we walked humbly before
the Lord of hostes?
15 Therefore wee count the proude blessed:
euen they that worke wickednesse, are set vp, and
they that tempt God, yea, they are note deliuered.
16 noteThen spake they that feared the Lorde,
euery one to his neighbour, and the Lorde hearkened
& heard it, and a note booke of remembrance
was written before him for them that feared the
Lord, and that thought vpon his Name.
17 And they shall be to me, sayeth the Lord of
hostes, in that day note that I shal do this, for a flocke,
and I will note spare them, as a man spareth his owne
sonne that serueth him.
18 Then shall you returne, and discerne betweene
the righteous and wicked, betweene him
that serueth God, and him that serueth him not.
