My covenant with him was of life and peace, and I gave them to him that he might fear; and he feared me, and trembled before my name.

And I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because ye have not kept my ways, but have respect of persons in administering the law.

Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord whom ye seek will suddenly come to his temple, and the Angel of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts.

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Ye say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

Then they that feared Jehovah spoke often one to another; and Jehovah observed it, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.

Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah.
