Malachi

4* “For, look! the day is coming that is burning like the furnace,+ and all the presumptuous ones and all those doing wickedness must become as stubble.+ And the day that is coming will certainly devour them,” Jehovah of armies has said, “so that it will not leave to them either root or bough.+ 2 And to YOU who are in fear of my name the sun of righteousness will certainly shine forth,+ with healing in its wings;+ and YOU will actually go forth and paw the ground like fattened calves.”+

3 “And YOU people will certainly tread down [the] wicked ones, for they will become as powder under the soles of YOUR feet in the day on which I am acting,”+ Jehovah of armies has said.

4 “Remember, YOU people, the law of Moses my servant with which I commanded him in Hoʹreb concerning all Israel, even regulations and judicial decisions.*+

5 “Look! I am sending to YOU people E·liʹjah* the prophet+ before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah.+ 6 And he must turn the heart of fathers back toward sons, and the heart of sons back toward fathers; in order that I may not come and actually strike the earth* with a devoting [of it] to destruction.”*+
