The day that is coming *Isa. 47:14;[Matt. 3:12;Luke 3:17]shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But for you *ch. 3:16who fear my name, *Ps. 84:11;Luke 1:78;John 1:4;8:12;9:5;12:46the sun *[Jer. 23:6] of righteousness shall rise *Isa. 53:5with healing in its wings.
