Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
Then shall the offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasantH6149 unto the LORDH3068, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141. {former: or, ancient}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
For I am the LORDH3068, I changeH8138 not; therefore ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 are not consumedH3615.
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?
Will a manH120 robH6906 GodH430? Yet ye have robbedH6906 me. But ye sayH559, Wherein have we robbedH6906 thee? In tithesH4643 and offeringsH8641.
Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH3994: for ye have robbedH6906 me, even this whole nationH1471.
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
And I will rebukeH1605 the devourerH398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of your groundH127; neither shall your vineH1612 cast her fruitH7921 before the time in the fieldH7704, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {destroy: Heb. corrupt}
And all nationsH1471 shall call you blessedH833: for ye shall be a delightsomeH2656 landH776, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
And now we callH833 the proudH2086 happyH833; yea, they that workH6213 wickednessH7564 are set upH1129; yea, they that temptH974 GodH430 are even deliveredH4422. {are set up: Heb. are built}
Then they that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 spake oftenH1696 oneH376 to anotherH7453: and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH7181, and heardH8085 it, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 him for them that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and that thoughtH2803 upon his nameH8034.
And they shall be mine, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in that dayH3117 when I make upH6213 my jewelsH5459; and I will spareH2550 them, as a manH376 sparethH2550 his own sonH1121 that servethH5647 him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
Then shall ye returnH7725, and discernH7200 between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that servethH5647 GodH430 and him that servethH5647 him not.

InG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 cameG3854 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910, preachingG2784 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of JudaeaG2449,

AndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhyG5101 thenG3767 sayG3004 the scribesG1122 thatG3754 EliasG2243 mustG1163 firstG4412 comeG2064?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, EliasG2243 trulyG3303 shall firstG4412 comeG2064, andG2532 restoreG600 all thingsG3956.

He took his brotherH251 by the heelH6117 in the wombH990, and by his strengthH202 he had powerH8280 with GodH430: {had…: Heb. was a prince, or, behaved himself princely}
Yea, he had powerH7786 over the angelH4397, and prevailedH3201: he weptH1058, and made supplicationH2603 unto him: he foundH4672 him in BethelH1008, and there he spakeH1696 with us;
Even the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635; the LORDH3068 is his memorialH2143.
The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 the country aboutG4066 JordanG2446, preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266;
AsG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall beG2071 filledG4137, andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 hillG1015 shall be brought lowG5013; andG2532 the crookedG4646 shall be madeG1519 straightG2117, andG2532 the roughG5138 waysG3598 shall be madeG1519 smoothG3006;
AndG2532 allG3956 fleshG4561 shall seeG3700 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 whenG3753 eightG3638 daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130 for the circumcisingG4059 of the childG3813+G2532, hisG846 nameG3686 was calledG2564 JESUSG2424, whichG3588 was so namedG2564 ofG5259 the angelG32 beforeG4253 heG846 was conceivedG4815 inG1722 the wombG2836.
AndG2532 whenG3753 the daysG2250 of herG846 purificationG2512 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 were accomplishedG4130, they broughtG321 himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, to presentG3936 him to the LordG2962;
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962+G3754, EveryG3956 maleG730 that openethG1272 the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG2962;)
AndG2532 to offerG1325 a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to that which is saidG2046 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, A pairG2201 of turtledovesG5167, orG2228 twoG1417 youngG3502 pigeonsG4058.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG2258 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG2474: andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 uponG1909 himG846.
AndG2532 it wasG2258 revealedG5537 unto himG846 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288, beforeG4250+G2228 he had seenG1492 the Lord'sG2962 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 the templeG2411: andG2532 when the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 inG1722 the childG3813 JesusG2424, to doG4160+G846 forG4012 himG846 afterG2596 the customG1480 of the lawG3551,
ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG2316, andG2532 saidG2036,
LordG1203, nowG3568 lettest thouG630 thyG4675 servantG1401 departG630 inG1722 peaceG1515, accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487:
ForG3754 mineG3450 eyesG3788 have seenG1492 thyG4675 salvationG4992,
WhichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090 beforeG2596 the faceG4383 of allG3956 peopleG2992;
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
ThisG3778 is heG2076, that wasG1096 inG1722 the churchG1577 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 withG3326 the angelG32 whichG3588 spakeG2980 to himG846 inG1722 the mountG3735 SinaG4614, andG2532 with ourG2257 fathersG3962: whoG3739 receivedG1209 the livelyG2198 oraclesG3051 to giveG1325 unto usG2254:
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 was heG2258 of whomG3739 I spakeG2036, He that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771?
AndG2532 he confessedG3670, andG2532 deniedG720 notG3756; butG2532 confessedG3670+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 thenG3767? ArtG1488 thouG4771 EliasG2243? AndG2532 he saithG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. ArtG1488 thouG4771 that prophetG4396? AndG2532 he answeredG611, NoG3756. {that prophet: or, a prophet?}
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 unto himG846, WhoG5101 art thouG1488? thatG2443 we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to them that sentG3992 usG2248. WhatG5101 sayest thouG3004 ofG4012 thyselfG4572?
He saidG5346, IG1473 am the voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Make straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, asG2531 saidG2036 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268.
AndG2532 sheG3778+G846 coming inG2186 thatG846 instantG5610 gave thanks likewiseG437 unto the LordG2962, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846 to allG3956 them that lookedG4327 for redemptionG3085 inG1722 JerusalemG2419. {Jerusalem: or, Israel}
ButG235 whatG5101 went ye outG1831 for to seeG1492? A prophetG4396? YeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, andG2532 much moreG4055 than a prophetG4396.
ThisG3778 isG2076 he, ofG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 myG3450 messengerG32 beforeG4253 thyG4675 faceG4383, whichG3739 shall prepareG2680 thyG4675 wayG3598 beforeG1715 theeG4675.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 those that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there isG2076 notG3762 a greaterG3187 prophetG4396 thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: butG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, sittingG2516 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the doctorsG1320, bothG2532 hearingG191 themG846, andG2532 askingG1905 themG846 questionsG1905.
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 JohnG2491 callingG4341 unto him twoG1417+G5100 of hisG846 disciplesG3101 sentG3992 them toG4314 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, ArtG1488 thouG4771 he that should comeG2064? orG2228 look we forG4328 anotherG243?
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565.
He that hathG2192 the brideG3565 isG2076 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whichG3588 standethG2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137.
HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642.
WhenG1161 the menG435 were comeG3854 untoG4314 himG846, they saidG2036, JohnG2491 BaptistG910 hath sentG649 usG2248 untoG4314 theeG4571, sayingG3004, ArtG1488 thouG4771 he that should comeG2064? orG2228 look we forG4328 anotherG243?
When JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG4383+G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 he taughtG2258+G1321 dailyG2596+G2250 inG1722 the templeG2411. ButG1161 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the scribesG1122 andG2532 the chiefG4413 of the peopleG2992 soughtG2212 to destroyG622 himG846,
AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think yeG5282 that IG3165 amG1511? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG2400, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1691, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 of his feetG4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089.
AndG2532 foundG2147 inG1722 the templeG2411 those that soldG4453 oxenG1016 andG2532 sheepG4263 andG2532 dovesG4058, andG2532 the changers of moneyG2773 sittingG2521:
AndG2532 when he had madeG4160 a scourgeG5416 ofG1537 small cordsG4979, he droveG1544 them allG3956 out ofG1537 the templeG2411, andG5037 the sheepG4263, andG2532 the oxenG1016; andG2532 poured outG1632 the changers'G2855 moneyG2772, andG2532 overthrewG390 the tablesG5132;
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto them that soldG4453 dovesG4058, TakeG142 these thingsG5023 henceG1782; makeG4160 notG3361 myG3450 Father'sG3962 houseG3624 an houseG3624 of merchandiseG1712.
