Malachi 4

Judgment and Covenant Renewal

1 [a]"Surely the day is coming;(a) it will burn like a furnace.(b) All the arrogant(c) and every evildoer will be stubble,(d) and the day that is coming will set them on fire,(e)" says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch(f) will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name,(g) the sun of righteousness(h) will rise with healing(i) in its rays. And you will go out and frolic(j) like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample(k) on the wicked; they will be ashes(l) under the soles of your feet on the day when I act," says the Lord Almighty.

4 "Remember the law(m) of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb(n) for all Israel.(o)

5 "See, I will send the prophet Elijah(p) to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.(q) 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,(r) and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike(s) the land with total destruction."(t)
