Malaquias 4

The Great Day of God

1 "For behold, *Ps. 21:9; (Nah. 1:5, 6; Mal. 3:2, 3; 2 Pet. 3:7)the day is coming,

Burning like an oven,

And all *Mal. 3:18the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be *Is. 5:24; Obad. 18stubble.

And the day which is coming shall burn them up,"

Says the Lord of hosts,

"That will *Amos 2:9leave them neither root nor branch.

2 But to you who *Mal. 3:16fear My name

The *Matt. 4:16; Luke 1:78; Acts 10:43; 2 Cor. 4:6; Eph. 5:14Sun of Righteousness shall arise

With healing in His wings;

And you shall go out

And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

3 *Mic. 7:10You shall trample the wicked,

For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet

On the day that I do this,"

Says the Lord of hosts.

4 "Remember the *Ex. 20:3Law of Moses, My servant,

Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,

With*Deut. 4:10the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you *(Matt. 11:14; 17:10–13; Mark 9:11–13; Luke 1:17); John 1:21Elijah the prophet

*Joel 2:31Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

6 And he will turn

The hearts of the fathers to the children,

And the hearts of the children to their fathers,

Lest I come and *Zech. 14:12strike the earth with *Zech. 5:3a curse."
