Mazmur 21:10

21:10 You destroy their offspring ¹  from the earth,

their descendants ²  from among the human race. ³ 

Maleakhi 4:1

4:1 (3:19) ⁴  “For indeed the day ⁵  is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant evildoers will be chaff. The coming day will burn them up,” says the Lord who rules over all. “It ⁶  will not leave even a root or branch.

[21:10]  ¹ tn Heb “fruit.” The next line makes it clear that offspring is in view.

[21:10]  ² tn Heb “seed.”

[21:10]  ³ tn Heb “sons of man.”

[4:1]  ⁴ sn Beginning with 4:1, the verse numbers through 4:6 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 4:1 ET = 3:19 HT, 4:2 ET = 3:20 HT, etc., through 4:6 ET = 3:24 HT. Thus the book of Malachi in the Hebrew Bible has only three chapters, with 24 verses in ch. 3.

[4:1]  ⁵ sn This day is the well-known “day of the Lord” so pervasive in OT eschatological texts (see Joel 2:30-31; Amos 5:18; Obad 15). For the believer it is a day of grace and salvation; for the sinner, a day of judgment and destruction.

[4:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “so that it” (so NASB, NRSV). For stylistic reasons a new sentence was begun here in the translation.
