The Great Day of Yahweh

1“[†]For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every worker of wickedness will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them aflame,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” 2“But for you who [†]fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. 3And you will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day [†]which I am preparing,” says Yahweh of hosts.

4“[†]Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and judgments which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.

5“Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. 6And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land, [†]devoting it to destruction.”
