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 lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, —and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
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.
So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings, —and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;
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 ye shall tread down the lawless, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet, —in the day when I am working with effect, saith Yahweh of hosts.
4 “Remember the Law of My servant Moses, That I commanded him in Horeb, For all Israel—statutes and judgments.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
5 Behold, I am sending Elijah the prophet to you, Before the coming of the great and fearful Day of YHWH.
Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
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 shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children, and the heart of the children unto their fathers, —lest I come, and smite the land, with utter destruction.
