Malachi 3:13-15

Good News Translation

God's Promise of Mercy

¹³ “You have said terrible things about me,” says the Lord. “But you ask, ‘What have we said about you?’ ¹⁴ You have said, ‘It's useless to serve God. What's the use of doing what he says or of trying to show the Lord Almighty that we are sorry for what we have done? ¹⁵ As we see it, proud people are the ones who are happy. Evil people not only prosper, but they test God's patience with their evil deeds and get away with it.’”
