Malachi 3:17 BBE

¹⁵  And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.

¹⁶  Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

¹⁷  And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.

¹⁸  Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
