1Look I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Look he comes, says the Lord of hosts.

2And who shall be able to think of the day of his coming? and who shall stand to see him? for he is like a refining fire, and like the fuller's herb:

3And he shall sit refining and cleansing the silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver, and they shall offer sacrifices to the Lord in righteousness.

4And the sacrifice of Juda and of Jerusalem shall please the Lord, as in the days of old, and in the ancient years.

7Lift up your gates, OH you leaders, and be you lifted up, OH eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9Lift up your gates, OH you leaders, and be you lifted up, OH eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.

14Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner has been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil:

15And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude.

16For no where does he take hold of the angels: but of the offspring of Abraham he takes hold.

17Therefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to his brothers and sisters, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

18For in that, in which he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.
