17 And they shall be my special possession, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day that I do judgment: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him.
17

18 And you shall return, and shall see the difference between the just and the wicked: and between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
18
And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.
