Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

LEB [fn] “For look! The day is about to come, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and every evildoer[fn] will be stubble. The coming day will consume[fn] them,” says Yahweh of hosts. “It will not leave behind for them root or branch. But for you who revere[fn] my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.[fn] 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.
¶ “Remember the instruction[fn] of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations. Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh! And he will bring back[fn] 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.”

While Malachi’s listeners and later generations of Jews may have expected this prophecy to be fulfilled by the return of Elijah himself, Jesus explained that it was fulfilled through the life and witness of John the Baptist (Matthew 17:10–13).
