Malachi:3:13-18

*
Your words have been stout against me ,
saith the LORD .
Yet ye say ,
What have we spoken so much against thee ?
*
Ye have said ,
It is vain to serve God :
and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance ,
and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts ?
*
And now we callthe proud happy ;
yea ,
they that work wickedness are set up ;
yea ,
they that tempt God are even delivered .
*
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another :
and the LORD hearkened ,
and heard it ,
and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD ,
and that thought upon his name .
*
And they shall be mine ,
saith the LORD of hosts ,
in that day when I make up my jewels ;
and I will spare them ,
as a man spareth his own son that serveth him .
*
Then shall ye return ,
and discern between the righteous and the wicked ,
between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not .
