4:1 | * “For indeed the day* is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,” says the Lord who rules over all. “It* will not leave even a root or branch. |
4:2 | But for you who respect my name, the sun of vindication* will rise with healing wings,* and you will skip about* like calves released from the stall. |
4:3 | You will trample on the wicked, for they will be like ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says the Lord who rules over all. |
4:4 | “Remember the law of my servant Moses, to whom at Horeb* I gave rules and regulations for all Israel to obey.* |
4:5 | Look, I will send you Elijah* the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord arrives. |
4:6 | He will encourage fathers and their children to return to me,* so that I will not come and strike the earth with judgment.”* |
