Malachi 3:13
Compare all
11 “And I will rebuke athe devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the Lord of hosts; 
12 “And all nations will call you blessed,
For you will be aa delightful land,”
Says the Lord of hosts. 

The People Complain Harshly

13 “Youra words have been harsh against Me,”
Says the Lord,
“Yet you say,
‘What have we spoken against You?’ 
14 aYou have said,
‘It is useless to serve God;
What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,
And that we have walked as mourners
Before the Lord of hosts? 
15 So now awe call the proud blessed,
For those who do wickedness are1 raised up;
They even btempt God and go free.’ ” 

A Book of Remembrance

16 Then those awho feared the Lord bspoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So ca book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who1 meditate on His name. 
17 “Theya shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts,
“On the day that I make them My bjewels.
And cI will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him.” 
18 aThen you shall again discern
Between the righteous and the wicked,
Between one who serves God
And one who does not serve Him.
