Malachi 3:13-16

13"Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. But you say, 'How have we spoken against you?'

14You have said, 'It is vain to serve God. What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts?

15And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape.'"

16Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name.
