MALACHI 4 [^] [1] “For behold,  r the day is coming,  s burning like an oven, when  t all the arrogant and  t all evildoers  u will be stubble. The day that is coming  u shall set them ablaze, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2[†]But for you  v who fear my name,  w the sun  x of righteousness shall rise  y with healing in its wings. You shall go out  z leaping like calves from the stall. 3And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet,  a on the day when I act, says the LORD of hosts.

4[†] b “Remember  c the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules [2] that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 d “Behold, I will send you  e Elijah the prophet  f before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 6[^]And he will  g turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and  h strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” [3]
