The Great Day of the Lord
1 “For the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and all who act wickedly will be stubble, and the day that is coming will burn them up,” says the Lord of Hosts, “leaving them neither root nor branch.
2 But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall. 3 You shall trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I act,” says the Lord of Hosts.
4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, and the statutes and ordinances which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel. 5 I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
