Malachi 3:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 You have said, ‘It is useless[a] to serve God! What is the gain if we keep[b] his requirements, and if we walk as mourners before[c] Yahweh of hosts? 15 And now we are calling the arrogant blessed! Not only do those who do wickedness prosper; they also test God and they escape!’”
A Book of Remembrance is Written
16 Then those who revered[d] Yahweh spoke with one another.[e] And Yahweh listened attentively[f] and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before him[g] of those who revere[h] Yahweh and ponder his name.
