Malachi 3:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Now we count the arrogant happy; evildoers not only prosper, but when they put God to the test they escape.’

The Reward of the Faithful

¹⁶ Then those who revered the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord took note and listened, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who revered the Lord and thought on his name. ¹⁷ They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as parents spare their children who serve them.
