4:1 Be ready for future judgement
4 “Yes, listen, the day that burns like a furnace is coming, when all the arrogant people and all the evildoers will become useless pieces of dry stalks in a field. The day that is coming will burn them up,” says Commander-in-chief Yahweh, “so they’ll be gone without leaving any roots or branches. 2 But for you who respect my name, the sun of righteousness will rise and bring healing. You’ll all go out, jumping around like calves let out of their stall, 3 and you’ll all trample down the wicked people, because they’ll just be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I act,” says Commander-in-chief Yahweh.
4 “Be sure to obey the law that I gave my servant Mosheh (Moses) at Mt. Sinay for all Yisrael (Israel)—the statutes and the rulings.
5 Listen, I’ll send the prophet Eliyah (Elijah) to you all,[ref] ahead of the coming of the great but fearful day of my judgement. 6 He’ll restore harmony between fathers and their children, so that I don’t have to come and strike the earth with complete destruction.”
