Malachi 3:13-16

13“Your words have been 1arrogant against Me,” says the Lord. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14You have said, ‘It is 2pointless to serve God; and what 3benefit is it for us that we have done what He required, and that we have walked in mourning before the Lord of armies? 15So now we 4call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up, but they also put God to the test and 5escape punishment.’”

16Then those who 6feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord 7listened attentively and heard it, and a 8book of remembrance was written before Him for those who 9fear the Lord and esteem His name.
