Malachi » Reproves God's people for their impiety
For from the days of your fathers ye departed from my laws, and ye watched not. Turn back to me and I will turn back to you, said Jehovah of armies. And ye said, In what shall we turn back? Will man defraud God? For ye defraud me. And ye said, In what did we defraud thee? The tenths and the offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: and ye defrauded me, the nation all of it read more.
Bring ye all the tenths to the house of treasure, and food shall be in my house, and try me now in this, said Jehovah of armies, if I will not open to you the lattices of the heavens, and empty out to you a blessing, even is it not a sufficiency. And I rebuked upon the eater for you, and he shall not corrupt for you the fruit of the earth; and the vine in the field shall not be barren to you, says Jehovah of armies. And all nations pronounced you happy, for ye shall be a land of delight, said Jehovah of armies. Your words were strong against me, said Jehovah. And ye said, What did we speak against thee? Ye said, Vanity to serve God: and what profit that we watched his watches, and that we went mourning from the face of Jehovah of armies? And now we pronounce the proud happy; also they working injustice were built up; also they tried Jehovah and they will be delivered.

Malachi » The judgments on the wicked and consolations of the righteous
For behold, the day coming, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all doing injustice were straw: and the day coming burnt them, said Jehovah of armies, that it shall not leave to them root and branch. And to you fearing my name the sun of justice arose, and healing in his wings; and ye went forth and spread as calves of the stall. And ye tread down the unjust; for they were ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I doing, said Jehovah of armies.
Malachi » The coming of the forerunner of the messiah
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the laws and the judgments. Behold, I send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the day of Jehovah, great and terrible: And he turned back the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to the fathers, lest I shall come and strike the earth with utter destruction.
Malachi » Fortells the coming of the messiah

And who enduring the day of his coming? and who standing in his being seen? for he is as the fire of the crucible, as the alkali of the fuller. And he sat melting and cleansing silver: and he cleansed the sons of Levi, and he purified them as gold and as silver, and they were to Jehovah bringing near the sacrifice in justice. read more.
And the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem was pleasant to Jehovah, as the days of old and as the former years. And I came near to you for judgment: and I was a swift witness against those practicing magic, and against those committing adultery, and against those swearing to falsehood, and against those oppressing the hire of the hireling, the widow and the orphan, and those turning aside the stranger, and they feared not me, said Jehovah of armies. For I am Jehovah, I changed not; and ye the sons of Jacob were not finished.
