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.”

You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.(B) 3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.(C)
4 Remember the teaching of my servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.(D)
5 See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(E) 6 He will turn the hearts of parents to their children and the hearts of children to their parents, so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse.[b]
