The Great Day of Yahweh

[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.” “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. 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.

[d](J)Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and judgments which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.

“Behold, I am going to send you (K)Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 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.”

The Great Day of the Lord

[a]See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.(A) But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.(B) 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)

Remember the teaching of my servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.(D)

See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(E) 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]
