Malachi 4
Legacy Standard Bible
The Great Day of Yahweh
4 “[a]For behold, the day is coming, (A)burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every worker of wickedness will be (B)chaff; and the day that is coming will (C)set them aflame,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” 2 “But for you who [b]fear My name, the (D)sun of righteousness will rise with (E)healing in its wings; and you will go forth and (F)skip about like calves from the stall. 3 And you will (G)tread down the wicked, for they will be (H)ashes under the soles of your feet (I)on the day [c]which I am preparing,” says Yahweh of hosts.
4 “[d](J)Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and judgments which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
5 “Behold, I am going to send you (K)Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 6 And he will (L)turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and (M)strike the land, [e]devoting it to destruction.”

Malachi 4
American Standard Version
4 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its [a]wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I [b]make, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers [c]to the children, and the heart of the children [d]to their fathers; lest I come and smite the [e]earth with a [f]curse.
