Malachi 4

Final Admonition

1“1For behold, the day is coming, 2burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be 3chaff; and the day that is coming will 4set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” 2“But for you who 5fear My name, the 6sun of righteousness will rise with 7healing in its wings; and you will go forth and 8skip about like calves from the stall. 3You will 9tread down the wicked, for they will be 10ashes under the soles of your feet 11on the day 12which I am preparing,” says the Lord of hosts.

4“1314Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.

5“Behold, I am going to send you 15Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. 6He will 1617restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and 18smite the land with a 19curse.”
