Malachie

Chapter 4

In the terrible day of judgement, the wicked shall be condemned, and the just eternally rewarded. ℣.5 Before which time Elias shall return, and convert the Jews to Christ.

  1. 1

    For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do impiety shall be stubble: & the day coming shall inflame them, saith the Lord of hosts, which shall not leave them root, and spring.

  2. 2

    And there shall rise to you that fear my name the Sun of justice, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap as calves of the herd.

  3. 3

    And you shall tread the impious, when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day, that I do, saith the Lord of hosts.

  4. 4

    Remember ye the law of Moyses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb to all Israel precepts, and judgements.

  5. 5

    Behold I will send you Elias the Prophet, before the day of our Lord come great and dreadful.

  6. 6

    And he shall convert the heart of the fathers to the children, & the heart of the children to their fathers: lest perhaps I come, and strike the earth with anathema.
