1	萬軍之耶和華說：「那日臨近，勢如燒著的火爐，凡狂傲的和行惡的必如碎稓，在那日必被燒盡，根本枝條一無存留。
			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	但向你們敬畏我名的人必有公義的日頭出現，其光線（原文作翅膀）有醫治之能。你們必出來跳躍如圈裡的肥犢。
			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	你們必踐踏惡人；在我所定的日子，他們必如灰塵在你們腳掌之下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
			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 , saith the LORD of hosts.
		4	「你們當記念我僕人摩西的律法，就是我在何烈山為以色列眾人所吩咐他的律例典章。
			Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and judgments.
		5	「看哪，耶和華大而可畏之日未到以前，我必差遣先知以利亞到你們那裡去。
			Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
		6	他必使父親的心轉向兒女，兒女的心轉向父親，免得我來咒詛遍地。」
			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.
