Malachi 4
4
The day of the LORD
1 # 4.1 3:19 in Heb Look, the day is coming,
burning like an oven.
All the arrogant ones and all those doing evil will become straw.
The coming day will burn them,
says the LORD of heavenly forces,
leaving them neither root nor branch.
2But the sun of righteousness will rise on those revering my name;
healing will be in its wings
so that you will go forth and jump about like calves in the stall.
3You will crush the wicked;
they will be like dust beneath the soles of your feet
on the day that I am preparing,
says the LORD of heavenly forces.
4Remember the Instruction from Moses, my servant,
to whom I gave Instruction and rules for all Israel at Horeb.
5Look, I am sending Elijah the prophet to you,
before the great and terrifying day of the LORD arrives.
6Turn the hearts of the parents to the children
and the hearts of the children to their parents.
Otherwise, I will come and strike the land with a curse.

Malachi 4
4
The Sun of Righteousness Will Dawn
1-3“Count on it: The day is coming, raging like a forest fire. All the arrogant people who do evil things will be burned up like stove wood, burned to a crisp, nothing left but scorched earth and ash—a black day. But for you, sunrise! The sun of righteousness will dawn on those who honor my name, healing radiating from its wings. You will be bursting with energy, like colts frisky and frolicking. And you’ll tromp on the wicked. They’ll be nothing but ashes under your feet on that Day.” God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so.
4“Remember and keep the revelation I gave through my servant Moses, the revelation I commanded at Horeb for all Israel, all the rules and procedures for right living.
5-6“But also look ahead: I’m sending Elijah the prophet to clear the way for the Big Day of God—the decisive Judgment Day! He will convince parents to look after their children and children to look up to their parents. If they refuse, I’ll come and put the land under a curse.”
