Judgment and Covenant Renewal

4 ^[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. ² 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. ³ 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.

⁹ Then have the trumpet^(A) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;^(B) on the Day of Atonement^(C) sound the trumpet throughout your land. ¹⁰ Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty^(D) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee^(E) for you; each of you is to return to your family property^(F) and to your own clan. ¹¹ The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee^(G) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.^{(H) 12} For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.

¹³ “‘In this Year of Jubilee^(I) everyone is to return to their own property.

¹⁶ May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,^(A) who loved us^(B) and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, ¹⁷ encourage^(C) your hearts and strengthen^(D) you in every good deed and word.
