15 So now (A)we call the proud blessed,
For those who do wickedness are [a]raised up;
They even (B)tempt God and go free.’ ”

A Book of Remembrance

16 Then those (C)who feared the Lord (D)spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So (E)a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who [b]meditate on His name.

17 “They(F) shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,
“On the day that I make them My (G)jewels.[c]
And (H)I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him.”
