Malachi 3:16–4:6

16  Then gthey that feared the Lord hspake often one to another:

And the Lord hearkened, and heard it,

And ia book of remembrance was written before him

For gthem that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

17  And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts,

kIn that day when lI make up my ||mjewels;

And nI will spare them, oas a man spareth his own son pthat serveth him.

18  Then shall ye return, and qdiscern between the righteous and the wicked,

qBetween him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

4 For, behold, athe day cometh, bthat shall burn cas an oven;

And all dthe proud, yea, and all dthat do wickedly, eshall be stubble:

And fthe day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts,

That it shall gleave them neither hroot nor branch.

2  But unto you ithat fear my name shall kthe Sun of lrighteousness arise

mWith healing in nhis wings;

And ye shall go forth, and ogrow up pas calves of the stall.

3  And fqye shall tread down the wicked;

For qrthey shall be ashes under the soles of your feet

In the day that sI shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

4  Remember ye tthe law of Moses umy servant,

Which I commanded unto him vin Horeb for all Israel,

With wthe statutes and judgments.

5  xBehold, I will send you yElijah the prophet

zBefore the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6  And he shall aturn the heart of the fathers to the children,

And the heart of the children to their fathers,

Lest I come and bsmite the earth cwith a curse.
