NETBible

And he will go as forerunner before the Lord¹ in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,² to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “before him”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²sn These two lines cover all relationships: Turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children points to horizontal relationships, while (turn) the disobedient to the wisdom of the just shows what God gives from above in a vertical manner.
