Chap. III.
note
A precurser shal come before Christ. 3. The Priesthood, and Sacrifice of the
new law are pure, 5. God who seeth al sinners wil punish them: 10. but if
they amend, they shal receiue Gods benefites. 13. Not euil men, but the
good please God.
1 Behold I send note myne Angel, and he shal prepare the
way before my face. And note forthwith shal come to his
temple the Dominatour, whom you seeke, and note the Angel of
the testament, whom you desire. Behold he cometh, sayth the
Lord of hosts:
2 and who shal be able to thinke the day of his
aduent? and who shal stand to see him? For he as it were purging
fyre, & as the herbe of fullers:
3 and he shal sit purging,
and clensing the siluer, and he shal purge the sonnes of Leui,
and wil streyne them as gold, and as siluer, and they shal be offering
sacrifices to our Lord in iustice.
4 And the sacrifice of
Iuda and Ierusalem shal please our Lord, as the dayes of the
world, and as the yeares of old.
5 And note I wil come to you
in iudgement, and note wil be a swift witnes to sorcerers, and aduouterers,
and to the periured, and them that calumniate the
hyre of the hyred man, the widowes, and pupils, and oppresse
the stranger, nor haue feared me, sayth the Lord of hosts.
6 For I the Lord, and I am not changed: and ye sonnes of Iacob
are not consumed.
7 For from the dayes of your fathers
you haue departed from mine ordinances, and haue not kept
them. Returne to me, and I wil returne to you, sayth the Lord
of hosts. And you haue sayd: Wherin shal we returne?
8 Shal
man fasten God, because you do fasten me? And you haue sayd:
Wherein do we fasten thee? In tithes, and in first fruites.
9 And
in penurie you are accursed, and you your whole nation fasten
me.
10 Bring in note al the tithe into the barne: and let there be
meate in my house, and proue me vpon this, sayth our Lord:
if I open not vnto you the fludgates of heauen, and powre
you out blessing euen to abundance,
11 and I wil rebuke for
you the deuourer, and he shal not corrupt the fruite of your
land: neither shal the vine in the filde be barren, sayth the Lord
of hosts.
12 And al Nations shal cal you blessed: for you shal
be a land worthie to be desired, sayth the Lord of hosts.
13 Your
-- --
wordes haue bene forcible vpon me, sayth the Lord.
14 And you
sayd: What haue we spoken against thee? You haue sayd: note He
is vayne that serueth God, and what profite is it that we haue
kept his precepts, and that we haue walked sorowful before
the Lord of host?
15 Therfore now we cal the arrogant blessed,
for they that doe impietie are builded, and they haue tempted
God and are made safe.
16 Then spake they that feared our Lord,
euerie one with his neighbour: and our Lord attended, and
heard: and a booke of monument was writen before him for
them that feare our Lord, and thinke on his name.
17 And they
shal be to me, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day that I doe to my
peculiar and I wil spare them, as a man spareth his sonne seruing
him.
18 And you shal conuert, and shal see what is betwen
the iust, and the impious: and betwen him that serueth
God, and serueth him not.
