Malachi 4 YLT
Summary: In its short closing chapter (in the Hebrew Bible, the final verses of chapter 3), Malachi and the whole Old Testament canon of the Christian arrangement ends with a final contrast: "the day" is coming, burning like an oven, that will leave the arrogant and evildoers as stubble, but for those who fear God's name, "the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings," and they will go out leaping like calves from the stall (v. 1-2). The people are charged to remember the Law of Moses given at Horeb, and the book's — and the prophetic era's — final promise is that God will send the prophet Elijah before "the great and awesome day of the LORD," who will turn the hearts of fathers to children and children to fathers, lest the land be struck with a curse.
1For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,
2And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness--and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.
3And ye have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
4Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel--statutes and judgments.
5Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
6And he hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have utterly smitten the land!
