Their hands also shall finish it.

For the house shall be builded in wisdom;
By understanding shall it be established;
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.

And it shall come to pass, that there shall come people,

Even the inhabitants of many cities, saying,
We also will go with you;

For we have heard that God is with you.

Wherefore be strong, all ye people, saith the
Lord, and work:

For I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts.
This house shall be builded,

And this place will I fill with my glory.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine:
Great shall be the glory of this house,

And in this place will I give peace, saith the
Lord of hosts.

THE PROPHET MALACHI

MALACHI II

This is my commandment to you, O ye priests, That ye may hear and lay it to heart,

To give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts.

And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you,

That my covenant with Levi may be with you.
My covenant was with him of
life and peace;
And I gave them to him that he might fear;
And he feared me,

And stood in awe of my name.

The law of truth was in his mouth,

And unrighteousness was not found in his lips:
He walked with me in peace and uprightness,
And did turn many away from iniquity.
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge,
And they should seek the law at his mouth;
For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

MALACHI III, IV

Behold, I send my messenger,

And he shall prepare the

way

before me:

Behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
But who may abide the day of his coming?
And who shall stand when he appeareth?
For he is like a refiner's fire:

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of sil

ver.

And he shall purify the sons of men,
And refine them as gold and silver.

And he shall come near to you in judgment;
And will be a swift witness

Against those that oppress the hireling in his wages,

The widow and the fatherless,

And that turn aside the stranger from his right, And fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise

With healing in his wings.
