4¹ “For behold, ^rthe day is coming, ^sburning like an oven, when ^tall the arrogant and ^tall evildoers ^uwill be stubble. The day that is coming ^ushall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. ²But for you ^vwho fear my name, ^wthe sun ^xof righteousness shall rise ^ywith healing in its wings. You shall go out ^zleaping like calves from the stall. ³And 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^b“Remember ^cthe law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules² that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

⁵^d“Behold, I will send you ^eElijah the prophet ^fbefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. ⁶And he will ^gturn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and ^hstrike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”³
