Malachai, chapter 2, beginning in verse 17.

You have wearied the Lord with your words, yet you say, how have we wearied him?

By saying, everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.

Or by asking, where is the God of justice.

Behold I send my messenger to prepare the way before me and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple, the messenger of the covenant, in

whom ye delight.

Behold he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.

But who can endure the day of his coming and who can stand when he appears.

For he is like a refiners fire and like a fuller soap, and he will sit as a refiner in a purifier of silver and he will purify the sons of

Levi and refine them like gold and like silver till they present right offerings to the

Lord.

Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in the days of old,

and as in former years.

Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers,

against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely,

against those who oppress the hireling in his wages,

the widow, and the orphan,

against those who thrust aside the sojourner,

and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

For I the Lord do not change.

Therefore you, O Sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

It does not say he is like a forest fire.
