4 ^[a] 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.
² But 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.
³ You 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.
⁴ Remember the Instruction from Moses, my servant,
        to whom I gave Instruction and rules for all Israel at Horeb.
⁵ Look, I am sending Elijah the prophet to you,
        before the great and terrifying day of the Lord arrives.
⁶ Turn 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.
