Malachi 3:13-15

English Standard Version

^13 (A)“Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. ^(B)But you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’ ¹⁴ You have said, ^(C)‘It is vain to serve God. ^(D)What is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts? ¹⁵ And now we call ^(E)the arrogant blessed. ^(F)Evildoers not only prosper but ^(G)they put God to the test and they escape.’”
