Final Admonition
1For behold, the day is coming, Aburning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be Bchaff; and the day that is coming will Cset them ablaze,” says the Loʀᴅ of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.” “But for you who 1fear My name, the Asun of righteousness will rise with Bhealing in its wings; and you will go forth and Cskip about like calves from the stall.  “You will Atread down the wicked, for they will be Bashes under the soles of your feet Con the day 1which I am preparing,” says the Loʀᴅ of hosts.
1ARemember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
Behold, I am going to send you AElijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Loʀᴅ.  “He will 1Arestore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and Bsmite the land with a 2curse.”
