Malachi 4

(Zephaniah 1:7–18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11; 2 Peter 3:8–13)

1“ForH3588 beholdH2009, the dayH3117 is comingH935, burningH1197 like a furnaceH8574, when allH3605 the arrogantH2086 and everyH3605 evildoerH6213H7564 will be stubbleH7179; the dayH3117 is comingH935 when I will set them ablazeH3857,” saysH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635. “NotH3808 a rootH8328 or branchH6057 will be leftH5800 to them.”

2“But for you who fearH3373 My nameH8034, the sunH8121 of righteousnessH6666 will riseH2224 with healingH4832 in its wingsH3671,1 and you will go outH3318 and leapH6335 like calvesH5695 from the stallH4770. 3Then you will trampleH6072 the wickedH7563, forH3588 they will beH1961 ashesH665 underH8478 the solesH3709 of your feetH7272 on the dayH3117 IH589 am preparingH6213,” saysH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635.

4“RememberH2142 the lawH8451 of My servantH5650 MosesH4872, the statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 I commandedH6680 himH853 forH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 at HorebH2722.2

5BeholdH2009, IH595 will sendH7971 you ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 beforeH6440 the comingH935 of the greatH1419 and awesomeH33723 DayH3117 of the LORDH3068. 6And he will turnH7725 the heartsH3820 of the fathersH1 toH5921 their childrenH1121, and the heartsH3820 of the childrenH1121 toH5921 their fathersH1.4 OtherwiseH6435, I will comeH935 and strikeH5221 the landH776 with a curseH2764.”
