Malachi 3:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 For your sake I will forbid the locusts
to destroy the produce of your soil,
and the vines in your fields will not be barren,
says the Lord of hosts.
12 Then all nations will call you blessed,
for yours will be a land of delight,
says the Lord of hosts.
The Just Will Have Their Revenge
13 [a]You have spoken harsh words against me,
says the Lord.
Yet you ask,
“What have we said against you?”

- Malachi 3:13 The rather harsh images at the end of this passage must be understood according to the mentality of the time. They express, in an excessive way, the hope which the just had of seeing evil someday disappear.
