² For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
^(A)“But on this one will I look:
^(B)On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.

3 “Behold, ^(A)I send My messenger,
And he will ^(B)prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
Will suddenly come to His temple,
^(C)Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, ^(D)He is coming,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
