Malachi 4

The Great Day of God

1 For behold, the day is coming, For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up, Says the Lord of hosts, That will leave them neither root nor branch.2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, Says the Lord of hosts.4 Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments.5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.

MALACHI 4

The Day of Judgment

The [Lord] said:

1 The day of judgment is certain to come. And it will be like a red-hot furnace with flames that burn up proud and sinful people, as though they were straw. Not a branch or a root will be left. I, the [Lord] All-Powerful, have spoken! 2 But for you that honor my name, victory will shine like the sun with healing in its rays, and you will jump around like calves at play.

3 When I come to bring justice, you will trample those who are evil, as though they were ashes under your feet. I, the [Lord] All-Powerful, have spoken!

4 Don't ever forget the laws and teachings I gave my servant Moses on Mount Sinai.t
5  t I, the [Lord], promise to send the prophet Elijah before that great and terrible day comes. 6 He will lead children and parents to love each other more, so that when I come, I won't bring destruction to the land.
