Malachi 3:16-18

16Then those who 1feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord 2gave attention and heard it, and a 3book of remembrance was written before Him for those who 4fear the Lord and who esteem His name.

17“They will be 5Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the 6day that I 7prepare My 89own possession, and I will 10spare them as a man 1112spares his own son who serves him.”

18So you will again 13distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
