Malachi 4

The Great Day of the Lord

⁴ⁿSee, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.^{* 2}But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.^{* 3}And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.^*

⁴Remember the teaching of my servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.^*

⁵See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.^{* 6}He will turn the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents, so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse.^o
