Malachi 3:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ You said, “It is useless to worship God. We did what the Lord All-Powerful told us, but we didn’t gain anything. We cried like people at a funeral to show we were sorry for our sins, but it didn’t help. ¹⁵ We think proud people are happy. Evil people succeed. They do evil things to test God’s patience, and God does not punish them.”

¹⁶ Then the Lord’s followers spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to them. There is a book in front of him. In that book are the names of his followers. They are the people who honor the Lord’s name.
