1For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and all who do wickedness will be stubble; and the coming day will set them ablaze, says the LORD of Hosts, so that it will not leave them root or branch.2But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves of the stall.3And you will 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 instruction of Moses my servant, which I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel—the statutes and the judgments.5Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.6And he will turn the heart of fathers to their children and the heart of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a curse.
