耶和華降罰的日子

萬軍之耶和華說:“看哪!那日來到,像燒著的火爐一樣;驕傲的和作惡的,都必成為碎稭;那要來的日子,必把他們燒盡,不給他們留下一根一枝。 可是,對你們敬畏我名的人,必有公義的太陽升起來;它的光線有醫治的功能;你們必出來跳躍,像欄裡的肥牛犢。” 萬軍之耶和華說:“你們必踐踏惡人;在我施行作為的日子,他們必在你們腳掌之下成為塵土。

“你們要謹記我僕人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山為以色列眾人所吩咐他的律例和典章。

預言差派以利亞來臨

“看哪!在耶和華大而可畏的日子來到以先,我必差派以利亞先知到你們那裡去。 他要使父親的心轉向兒女,兒女的心轉向父親,免得我來擊打這地,以至完全毀滅。”(本章第1~6節在《馬索拉文本》為3:19~24)

耶和華的日子

「萬軍之耶和華說,『那日要來臨了,就像燒紅的火爐,所有狂妄自大、作惡多端的人都要像碎稭一樣被火燒盡,連根帶枝,蕩然無存。 但必有公義的太陽為你們這些敬畏我名的人升起,它的光芒有醫治的能力。你們必像欄中出來的牛犢一樣歡欣跳躍。 到我所定的日子,你們必踐踏惡人,他們必成為你們腳下的塵土。』這是萬軍之耶和華說的。

「你們要記住我僕人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山藉著他傳給以色列人的律例和典章。

「看啊,在耶和華那偉大而可畏的日子來臨以前,我必差遣以利亞先知到你們那裡。 他必使父親的心轉向兒女,兒女的心轉向父親,免得我來用咒詛毀滅這地方。」

Judgment and Covenant Renewal

[a]“Surely the day is coming;(A) it will burn like a furnace.(B) All the arrogant(C) and every evildoer will be stubble,(D) and the day that is coming will set them on fire,(E)” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch(F) will be left to them. But for you who revere my name,(G) the sun of righteousness(H) will rise with healing(I) in its rays. And you will go out and frolic(J) like well-fed calves. Then you will trample(K) on the wicked; they will be ashes(L) under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.

“Remember the law(M) of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb(N) for all Israel.(O)

“See, I will send the prophet Elijah(P) to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.(Q) He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,(R) and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike(S) the land with total destruction.”(T)
