Open English Translation MAL Chapter 4

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 army-commander 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 army-commander Yahweh.

4 “Be sure to obey the law that I gave my servant Mosheh at Mt. Sinai for all Israel—the statutes and the rulings.

5 Listen, I’ll send the prophet Eliyyah to you all, ahead of the coming of the great but fearful day of my judgement.[ref] 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.”
