1
[11]The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says, “The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed—roots, branches, and all.
2
“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings.[12] And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.
3
On the day when I act, you will tread upon the wicked as if they were dust under your feet,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
4
“Remember to obey the Law of Moses, my servant—all the decrees and regulations that I gave him on Mount Sinai[13] for all Israel.
5
“Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the LORD arrives.
6
His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.”
