Malachi 4

1 #Malachi 4:1–6 in the English Bible is 3:19–24 in the Hebrew Bible “For look! The day is about to come, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and every evildoer#Literally “doer of wickedness” will be stubble. The coming day will consume#Or “devour” them,” says Yahweh of hosts. “It will not leave behind for them root or branch. 2But for you who revere#Or “fear” my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.#Literally “bull-calves of the animal stall” (on the idiom see HALOT 631 s.v.) 3You will trample down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I am going to act,” says Yahweh of hosts.
4“Remember the instruction#Or “law”; Hebrew torah of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations. 5Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh! 6And he will bring back#Or “And he will restore” the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with a ban.”

Malachi 4
4
1 FOR BEHOLD, the day comes that shall burn like an oven, and all the proud and arrogant, yes, and all that do wickedly and are lawless, shall be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. [Isa. 5:21-25; Matt. 3:12.]
2 But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy.
3 And you shall tread down the lawless and wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the Lord of hosts.
4 [Earnestly] remember the law of Moses, My servant, the statutes and the ordinances which I commanded him on [Mount] Horeb [to give] to all Israel.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. [Matt. 11:14; 17:10-13.]
6 And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction. [Luke 1:17.]
