And Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming His name. 17 And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing—a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him. 18 And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked. Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.
IV. 1 FOR, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace. And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came. Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch, 2And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness—and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall. 3 And ye have trodden down the wicked. For they are ashes under the soles of your feet In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah of Hosts. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command him in Horeb, For all Israel—statutes and judgments, 5Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful. 6And he hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons. And the heart of sons to their fathers. Before I come and have utterly smitten the land!
