Malachi 3:16

Malachi 3:16

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 “They^a 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.

Then - When contempt of God was grown so high. That feared the Lord - Those that were truly religious. Spake often - Conversed together the more frequently. And a book - All this is spoken after the manner of men. For them - On their behalf.
