< Malachi 4 >

1 “For behold, the day has come, burning as a furnace, When all the proud and all those doing wickedness have been stubble, And the day that came has burned them,” said YHWH of Hosts, “That there is not left to them root or branch,
For, behold, the day will arrive, kindled like a furnace, and all the arrogant and all those who act impiously will be stubble. And the approaching day will inflame them, says the Lord of hosts; it will leave behind for them neither root, nor sprout.
2 But for you fearing My Name, The Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings, And you have gone forth, And have bounded as calves of a stall.
But unto you, who fear my name, the Sun of justice will arise, and health will be in his wings. And you will go forth and leap like the calves of the herd.
3 And you have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing,” said YHWH of Hosts.
And you will trample the impious, while they will be ashes under the sole of your foot, on the day that I act, says the Lord of hosts.
4 “Remember the Law of My servant Moses, That I commanded him in Horeb, For all Israel—statutes and judgments.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
5 Behold, I am sending Elijah the prophet to you, Before the coming of the great and fearful Day of YHWH.
Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
6 And he has turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have utterly struck the land!”
And he will turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with anathema.
