^{Tools
2} “But who can ^(A)endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a ^(B)refiner’s fire and like ^(a)fullers’ soap. ^{Tools
3} He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will ^(C)purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may ^(D)present to the Lord ^(b)offerings in righteousness.
