He will sit (A)as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring (B)offerings in righteousness to the Lord.[a] (C)Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years.

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be (D)a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those (E)who oppress the hired worker in his wages, (F)the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
