1 For, behold , the day cometh , that shall burn as an oven ; and all the proud , yea, and all that do wickedly , shall be stubble : and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts , that it shall leave them neither root nor branch .
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings ; and ye shall go forth , and grow up as calves of the stall .
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked ; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this , saith the LORD of hosts .
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant , which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel , with the statutes and judgments .
5 Behold , I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD :
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children , and the heart of the children to their fathers , lest I come and smite the earth with a curse .
