Malachi 3:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

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.

¹⁷ The Lord said, “They belong to me. I will be kind to them. Parents are very kind to their children who obey them. In the same way I will be kind to my followers.
