[Sidenote:  Mal. 2:15, 16]
Therefore give heed to your spirit,
And let none deal faithlessly with the wife of his youth,
For I hate putting away,
Saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,
And him who covers his garment with violence;
Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not faithlessly.

[Sidenote:  Mal. 2:17]
Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words. 
Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? 
In that ye say, Everyone that doeth evil
Is good in the sight of Jehovah,
And he delighteth in them;
Or where is the God of justice?

[Sidenote:  Mal. 3:1-4]
Behold, I am about to send my messenger,
And he shall prepare the way before me;
And the Lord, whom ye seek,
Will suddenly come to his temple;
But who can endure the day of his coming? 
And who shall stand when he appeareth? 
For he is like a refiner’s fire,
And like fullers’ lyes;
And he will sit as a refiner and purifier,
And he will purify the sons of Levi,
And refine them as gold and silver;
And they shall offer offerings in righteousness. 
Then shall the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant to Jehovah,
As in the days of old, and as in former years.

[Sidenote:  Mal. 3:5, 6]
And I will come near to you to judgment;
And I will be a swift witness
Against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers,
And against those who sware to that which is false,
And against those who oppress the hireling, the widow, and the fatherless,
Who turn aside the resident alien from his right,
And fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
For I, Jehovah, change not;
But ye have not ceased to be sons of Jacob.

[Sidenote:  Mal. 3:7-9]
From the days of thy fathers ye have turned aside from my statutes, and ye
  have not kept them. 
Turn to me and I will turn to you, saith Jehovah. 
But ye say, ‘Wherein shall we turn?’
Will a man rob God?  Yet ye robbed me. 
But ye say, ‘Wherein have we robbed thee?’ In tithes and gifts. 
Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye rob me.

[Sidenote:  Mal. 3:10-12]
Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house,
That there may be provision in mine house; and test me thereby,
If I will not open to you the windows of heaven,
And pour you out a blessing, until there is more than enough. 
I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer that he destroy not the fruit of
  the ground,
Neither shall the vine fail to ripen its fruit in the field,
And all nations shall call you happy,
For ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.

[Sidenote:  Mal. 3:13-16]
Your words are hard upon me, saith Jehovah. 
Ye say, ‘What have we said against thee?’
Ye have said, ’It is useless to serve God,
And what gain is it to us to have kept his charge,
And that we have walked in funeral garb before him? 
Even now we call the proud happy,
Yea, those who work iniquity thrive,
Yea, they tempt God and escape.’
