Malachi, Chapter 4
Chapter 4
His blessing on the good.
The coming of Elijah.
397 B.C. (?)[1]
430 B.C. (?)[2]
4 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh[3][4][5][6] shall burn[7][8][9][10][11] them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he[12] shall turn[13][14][15] the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
