17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
17
“On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, 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.
