MALACHI
- And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts,
- In that day when I make up my jewels;
- And I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
- Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
- Between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
- 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.
