Malachi 3:15 DBY

¹³  Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?

¹⁴  Ye say, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

¹⁵  And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and they escape.

¹⁶  Then they that feared Jehovah spoke often one to another; and Jehovah observed [it], and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.

¹⁷  And they shall be unto me a peculiar treasure, saith Jehovah of hosts, in the day that I prepare; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
