| 25:1 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. |
The following
section is quoted from Malachi 4. 4:1 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.

| 25:2 But unto you that fear my name, shall the 1Son of
Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye
shall go forth and grow up as calves in the stall. |
4:2 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. (‘Son’ and ‘Sun’ and
homonyms only in English. The Hebrew words
‘Ben’ and ‘Shemesh’ are not easily
confused. The change from ‘Sun’ to
‘Son’ argues strongly in favour of the theory
that Joseph Smith made alterations to the King James
Version text as he copied it into the Book of Mormon,
rather than actually translating an ancient text.)

under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this,
saith the Lord of hosts. |
