[1] Eternal One: For behold the day of burning will come, smoldering like a furnace. The arrogant and the evil will be set ablaze like the worthless chaff of grain. Neither roots nor branch will remain. I, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, promise this. [2] But for you, the ones who tremble at the sound of My name, a warm sun of righteousness will come forth with healing in its rays, and you will go out, springing from the stalls like calves in open pasture. [3] Then you will trample the criminal; your feet will make them ash on the day I am preparing. I, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, promise this. [4] Remember the instructions which Moses, My faithful servant, received from Me at Mount Horeb and gave to all Israel. Remember its statutes and judgments. [5] Keep watch. I am sending Elijah the prophet to you before the arrival of the great and terrible day of the Eternal One, [6] and he will return parents' hearts to their children and children's hearts to their parents, or else I will come and strike the land of promise with a curse of annihilation.
