My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him for fear; and he feared Me, and he is awed before My name.

Therefore I have also made you despised and low before all the people, just as you have not kept My ways but are lifting up faces in the law.

Behold, I will send My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me. And Jehovah, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of Hosts.

You have said, It is vain to serve God; and, What profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked as mourners before Jehovah of Hosts?

Then those fearing Jehovah spoke together, each man to his neighbor. And Jehovah listened and heard. And a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Jehovah, and for those esteeming His name.

Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Jehovah.
