Malachi 3:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
The Book of Remembrance
16 Then those who [a]feared Yahweh spoke to one another, and Yahweh (A)gave heed and heard it, and a (B)book of remembrance was written before Him for those who [b]fear Yahweh and who think upon His name. 17 “And they will be (C)Mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the (D)day that I [c]prepare My [d](E)own treasured possession, and I will [e]spare them as a man [f](F)spares his own son who serves him.” 18 So you will return and (G)see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

The Faithful Remnant
16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard.(A) A scroll(B) of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared(C) the Lord and honored his name.
17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my(D) treasured possession.(E) I will spare(F) them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son(G) who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous(H) and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.(I)
