Malachi 3:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ You said, “It is vain to serve God. What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked as mourners before the Lord of Hosts? ¹⁵ And now we call the proud blessed, for those who do wickedness are built up; they even test God and escape.”

The Reward of the Faithful

¹⁶ Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another. The Lord listened and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem His name.
