Malachi 4
1 For, behold, the day cometh, which shall burn as an oven; Then shall all the proud, And all that do wickedness, be stubble; And the day that cometh shall burn them up, Saith Jehovah of hosts; It shall leave them neither root nor branch.
“The day is coming that will burn like a furnace, and all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will burn them up,” says the Lord of hosts, “leaving neither root nor branch.
2 But for you that fear my name Shall the sun of salvation arise With healing under his wings. And ye shall go forth and leap for joy, Like calves of the stall.
But to you who revere my name there will arise the sun of righteousness with healing in its wings, and you will run free like calves let out from their stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; For they shall be as dust under the soles of your feet In the day which I appoint, saith Jehovah of hosts.
In the day when I act you will tread down the wicked, they will be as ashes under the soles of your feet,” says the Lord of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, My statutes and precepts!
“Remember the law of Moses my servant, statutes and judgments which I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, Before the day of Jehovah come, The great and terrible day.
I am about to send to you Elijah the prophet, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
6 He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, And the heart of the children to their fathers, That I may not come And smite the land with a curse.
He will turn fathers’ hearts to their sons and sons’ hearts to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the earth with judgement.”
