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.

A Book of Remembrance is Written
16 Then those who revered[a] Yahweh spoke with one another.[b] And Yahweh listened attentively[c] and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before him[d] of those who revere[e] Yahweh and ponder his name. 17 “They will be mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the day that I am acting, my treasured possession.
