17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' [1] and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom [2] of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
17 He will herald God's arrival in the style and strength of Elijah, soften the hearts of parents to children, and kindle devout understanding among hardened skeptics - he'll get the people ready for God."
