< Malachi 4 >
1 "For, look, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says Jehovah of hosts, "that it shall leave them neither root nor 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 to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the 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 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make," says Jehovah 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 Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
5 Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of Jehovah comes.
Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
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.
