4 ^[a] “For look! The day is about to come, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and every evildoer^[b] will be stubble. The coming day will consume^[c] them,” says Yahweh of hosts. “It will not leave behind for them root or branch. ² But for you who revere^[d] my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.^{[e] 3} You will trample down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I am going to act,” says Yahweh of hosts.

⁴ “Remember the instruction^[f] of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations. ⁵ Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh! ⁶ And he will bring back^[g] the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with a ban.”
