The Great Day of God

  1“For behold, the day is coming,
   Burning like an oven,
   And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
   And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
   Says the Lord of hosts,
   “That will leave them neither root nor branch.
   2But to you who fear My name
   The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
   With healing in His wings;
   And you shall go out
   And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
   3You 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 Law of Moses, My servant,
   Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
   Withthe statutes and judgments.
   5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
   Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
   6And he will turn
   The hearts of the fathers to the children,
   And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
   Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
