Malachi 3:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ “You have said, ‘It’s pointless to serve God. What do we gain if we meet his standards or if we walk around feeling sorry for what we’ve done? ¹⁵ So now we call arrogant people blessed. Not only are evildoers encouraged, they even test God and get away with it.’ ”

¹⁶ Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord paid attention and listened. A book was written in his presence to be a reminder to those who feared the Lord and respected his name.
