Thus says the Lord, See, I am sending 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 you delight--
indeed, 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 refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a
refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi
and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the
LORD in righteousness.
Malachi 3:1-3
