« | Malachi 4 |
1 For behold, a day comes burning as an oven, and it shall consume them; and all the aliens, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty, and there shall not be left of them root or branch.
2 But to you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in His wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.
3 And you shall trample the wicked; for they shall be ashes underneath your feet in the day which I appoint, says the Lord Almighty.
4 Remember the law of My servant Moses, accordingly as I charged him [with it] in Horeb for all Israel, even the commandments and ordinances.
5 And, behold, I will send to you Elijah the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;
6 who shall turn again the heart of the father to the son, and the heart of a man to his neighbor, lest I come and smite the earth grievously.
