< Malachi 4 >

1 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 ye the law of Moses my servant, —which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel, the precepts and the judgments.
5 Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;
Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Lord.
6 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.
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.
