Malachi 3:2 in Context — Malachi 3

1 Voici, j’enverrai mon messager; Il préparera le chemin devant moi. Et soudain entrera dans son temple le Seigneur que vous cherchez; Et le messager de l’alliance que vous désirez, voici, il vient, Dit l’Éternel des armées.

2 Qui pourra soutenir le jour de sa venue? Qui restera debout quand il paraîtra? Car il sera comme le feu du fondeur, Comme la potasse des foulons.

3 Il s’assiéra, fondra et purifiera l’argent; Il purifiera les fils de Lévi, Il les épurera comme on épure l’or et l’argent, Et ils présenteront à l’Éternel des offrandes avec justice.

4 Alors l’offrande de Juda et de Jérusalem sera agréable à l’Éternel, Comme aux anciens jours, comme aux années d’autrefois.
