\v 1 For behold, the day cometh, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all that work wickedness shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 
\v 2 And unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth and leap like fatted calves. 
\v 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I prepare, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
\v 4 Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and ordinances. 
\v 5 Behold, I send unto you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah. 
\v 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.
