"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 the LORD of hosts, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Nanso, mo a mode anidie ma me din no, tenenee awia bɛpue ama mo, na ɛde ayaresa bɛba. Na mobɛpue na moahurihuri te sɛ anantwie mma a wɔabue wɔn afiri wɔn buo mu.
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.
3 Na mobɛtiatia atirimuɔdenfoɔ so; wɔbɛyɛ nsõ wɔ mo nan ase, da a mɛyɛ saa nneɛma yi.” Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make," says the LORD of hosts.

Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

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.
