Malachi 3:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Then spake they that feared the Lord, everyone to his neighbor, and the Lord hearkened and heard it, and a [b]book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his Name.
17 And they shall be to me, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day [c]that I shall do this, for a flock, and I will [d]spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and wicked, between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
