Exegesis
The opening vav-consecutive uzrekhah {וּזְרְחָה | û-zə-ra-ḥāh} “and shall rise” frames a future promise tied to the qualifying participle yirei shemi {יִרְאֵי שְׁמִי | yir-ʾê šə-mî} “those who fear my name.”
In context — Malachi 4:2
But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. You will go out and frolic like calves from the stall.
