The Day of the LORD
(Zephaniah 1:7–18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11; 2 Peter 3:8–13)

1For behold, the day coming, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all doing injustice were straw: and the day coming burnt them, said Jehovah of armies, that it shall not leave to them root and branch. 2And to you fearing my name the sun of justice arose, and healing in his wings; and ye went forth and spread as calves of the stall. 3And ye tread down the unjust; for they were ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I doing, said Jehovah of armies.

4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the laws and the judgments.

5Behold, I send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the day of Jehovah, great and terrible: 6And he turned back the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to the fathers, lest I shall come and strike the earth with utter destruction.
