主嚴懲惡人

萬軍之耶和華說:「那日臨近,勢如燒著的火爐,凡狂傲的和行惡的必如碎秸,在那日必被燒盡,根本、枝條一無存留。 但向你們敬畏我名的人,必有公義的日頭出現,其光線[a]有醫治之能。你們必出來,跳躍如圈裡的肥犢。 你們必踐踏惡人,在我所定的日子,他們必如灰塵在你們腳掌之下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。

勸眾遵律守誡

「你們當記念我僕人摩西的律法,就是我在何烈山為以色列眾人所吩咐他的律例、典章。

預言以利亞奉遣而至

「看哪,耶和華大而可畏之日未到以前,我必差遣先知以利亞到你們那裡去。 他必使父親的心轉向兒女,兒女的心轉向父親,免得我來咒詛遍地。」

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)

The Great Day of God

“For behold, (A)the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all (B)the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be (C)stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will (D)leave them neither root nor branch.
But to you who (E)fear My name
The (F)Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
(G)You 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.

“Remember the (H)Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With (I)the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you (J)Elijah the prophet
(K)Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And (L)he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and (M)strike the earth with (N)a curse.”
