“For 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. But 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. And 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.
“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules
that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and
awesome day of the LORD comes. And 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.”
