1 «Viene un día que arderá como un horno. Todos los orgullosos y todos los que hacen el mal serán como hierba seca. En ese día serán quemados», dice el Señor de los ejércitos, «hasta que no les quede raíz ni rama. 2 Pero para ustedes, que adoran mi nombre, saldrá el sol de justicia con nueva vida en sus alas. Saldrán saltando como terneros bien alimentados. 3 Aplastarán a los que hacen el mal, y ellos serán polvo bajo sus pies en el día en que yo actúe», dice el Señor de los ejércitos. 4 «Recuerden la ley de Moisés, mi siervo, que le di en Horeb para todo Israel, con sus normas y decisiones. 5 Voy a enviarles al profeta Elías antes de que llegue el día del Señor, ese día grande y temible. 6 Él hará que el corazón de los padres vuelva hacia sus hijos y el corazón de los hijos hacia sus padres, para que yo no venga y ponga la tierra bajo maldición».
