17 And they shall be [unintelligible] LORD of hosts, in that day when I may us [unintelligible]; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his [unintelligible] that serveth him.

CHAP. IV.
1 God's judgment on the wicked, 2 and his blessing on the good. 4 He exorteth to the Study of the law, and 5 telleth of Elijah's coming and office.

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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant,
which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all
Israel with the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet hath before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, left I come and smite the earth with a curse.
