Malachi 3:13-18 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
13
"You have said terrible things about me," says the LORD."But you say, 'What do you mean? How have we spoken against you?'
14
"You have said, 'What's the use of serving God? What have we gained by obeying his commands or by trying to show the LORD Almighty that we are sorry for our sins?
15
From now on we will say, "Blessed are the arrogant." For those who do evil get rich, and those who dare God to punish them go free of harm.'"
16
Then those who feared the LORD spoke with each other, and the LORD listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and loved to think about him.
17
"They will be my people," says the LORD Almighty. "On the day when I act, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient and dutiful child.
18
Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."
