14 Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve God; And what profit is it that we have kept His charge, And that we have walked mournfully Because of the LORD of hosts? 15 And now we call the proud happy; Yea, they that work wickedness are built up; Yea, they try God, and are delivered.' 16 Then they that feared the LORD Spoke one with another; And the LORD hearkened, and heard, And a book of remembrance was written before Him, For them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name. 17 And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, In the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; And I will spare them, as a man spareth His own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, Between him that serveth God And him that serveth Him not. Malachi 3:14-18, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
