Malachi 3:15-17
King James Version
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

For those who do wickedness are [a]raised up;

And the Lord listened and heard them;

For those who fear the Lord
And who [b]meditate on His name.

“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.”
