Malachi 4


The Great Day of the Lord

1“For behold, athe day is coming, bburning like an oven, when call the arrogant and call evildoers dwill be stubble. The day that is coming dshall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But for you awho fear my name, bthe sun cof righteousness shall rise dwith healing in its wings. You shall go out eleaping like calves from the stall. 3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, aon the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.
4 a“Remember bthe law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules1 that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 a“Behold, I will send you bElijah the prophet cbefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
6 And he will aturn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and bstrike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”1
