Malachi 3:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ “You have used harsh words against me,” says the Lord.

“You ask, ‘How have we spoken against you?’

¹⁴ “You have said, ‘It’s pointless to serve God. What do we gain if we meet his standards or if we walk around feeling sorry for what we’ve done? ¹⁵ So now we call arrogant people blessed. Not only are evildoers encouraged, they even test God and get away with it.’ ”
