Before CHRIST cir. 397.
16 ¶ Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another; and the LORD hearkened and heard it: and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
¶ Or, peculiar treasure.
17 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.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
CHAP. IV.
1 God's judgment 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.
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 shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Before CHRIST cir. 397.
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.
¶ Luke 1. 78.
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.
¶ Exod. 20. 3.
5 ¶ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
¶ Matt. 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.
