The sun of righteousness

For look, the day is coming, burning like an oven. All the proud and everyone who does wickedly will be stubble, and the coming day will burn them up, says the Lord Almighty, leaving them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the Sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings, and you will go out and grow up like calves of the stall. And you will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I act, says the Lord Almighty. Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I gave him at Horeb for all Israel — the rules and the judgements. Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, or else I will come and strike the earth with a curse.

Because look — the day is coming that'll burn like an oven. And all the proud, and everyone who does wickedness, will be stubble. And the day that's coming will burn them up, says the Lord Almighty, so it won't leave them root or branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you'll go out and grow up like calves out of the stall. And you'll tread down the wicked, because they'll be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I do this, says the Lord Almighty. Remember the teaching of Moses my servant, that I ordered him at Horeb for all Israel, with the rules and the judgments. Look — I'll send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrifying day of the Lord comes. And he'll turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers — so I don't come and strike the earth with a curse.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 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.
