Malachi 3:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵So now we consider the arrogant fortunate.
Moreover, those doing evil are built up;
they test God and escape.”

The scroll of remembrance

¹⁶Then those revering the Lord,
    each and every one, spoke among themselves.
        The Lord paid attention and listened to them.
Then a scroll of remembrance was written before the Lord
        about those revering the Lord,
            the ones meditating on his name.
¹⁷On the day that I am preparing,
says the Lord of heavenly forces,
        they will be my special possession.
        I will spare them just as parents spare a child who serves them.
