2 But ^mwho can endure the day of his coming, and ⁿwho can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them ^olike gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.¹

17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my ^dtreasured possession, and I will spare them ^eas a man spares his son who serves him.
