Malachi 3:13-18
13“Your wordsH1697 have beenH2388 1arrogantH2388 againstH5921 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068. “Yet you sayH559, ‘WhatH4100 have we spokenH1696 againstH5921 You?’ 14You have saidH559, ‘It is 2vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430; and whatH4100 3profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 His chargeH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 in mourningH6941 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635? 15So nowH6258 we 4callH833 the arrogantH2086 blessedH833; not onlyH1571 are the doersH6213 of wickednessH7564 builtH1129 up but they alsoH1571 testH974 GodH430 and 5escapeH4422.’”
16ThenH227 those who 6fearedH3372 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to oneH376 anotherH7453, and the LordH3068 7gaveH7181 attentionH7181 and heardH8085 it, and a 8bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 Him for those who 9fearH3372 the LordH3068 and who esteemH2803 His nameH8034. 17“They will be 10Mine,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “on the 11dayH3117 that I 12prepareH6213 My 1314own possessionH5459, and I will 15spareH2550 them as a manH376 1617sparesH2550 his own sonH1121 who servesH5647 him.” 18So you will againH7725 18distinguishH7200 betweenH996 the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, betweenH996 one who servesH5647 GodH430 and one whoH834 does not serveH5647 Him.
