Malachi 4

¹For behold , the day is coming , burning like an oven , when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble . The day that is coming shall set them ablaze , says the Lord of hosts , so that it will leave them neither root nor branch .

²But for you who fear my name , the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings . You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall .

³And 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 law of my servant Moses , the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel .

⁵Behold , I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes .

⁶And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers , lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction .
