Exegesis
The verse begins with the interrogative umi {וּמִי | û-mî} combined with the Piel participle mekhalkel {מְכַלְכֵּל | mə-khal-kēl}, forming a rhetorical question about the one who can endure.
In context — Malachi 3:2
But who can endure the day when He arrives, and who can stand firm at His appearing ? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like the soap used by launderers.
