1 God's judgement on the wicked, 2 and his blessing on the good. 4 He exhorteth to the study of the law, 5 and telleth of Elijah's coming and office.
Before Christ cir. 397.
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. Before Christ cir. 397.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Exod. 20. 3.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: Matth. 11. 14. Mark 9. 11. Luke 1. 17.
6 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.
