The Great Day of God
1 “For behold,the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
# And allthe proud, yes, all who do wickedly will bestubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says theLordof hosts,
# “That willleave them neither root nor branch.
2 But to you whofear My name
# TheSun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
3 You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I dothis,”
Says theLordof hosts.
4 “Remember theLaw of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
# Withthe statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send youElijah the prophet
# Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of theLord.
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 andstrike the earth witha curse.”
