Bible Comments

IV.

(1) The day already foretold in Malachi 3:2 shall be as a fire burning fiercely as a furnace, and “the wicked” — not only the heathen, but the murmurers themselves, so far from being accounted happy (Malachi 3:15) — shall be as “stubble.” (Comp. Isaiah 5:24; Zephaniah 1:18; Obadiah 1:18, &c.)

Malachi 4:1

1 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.
