Malachi 3:17-18
New English Translation
17 “They will belong to me,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “in the day when I prepare my own special property.[a] I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you will see that I make a distinction between[b] the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not.
