Malachi 3:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

Israel’s Response

¹⁶ Then those who fear the Lord spoke with each other. The Lord gave them his attention and listened. A book of remembrance was written in front of him for those who fear the Lord and have regard for his name.

¹⁷ They will be mine, says the Lord of Armies, on the day I make them my treasured possession. I will spare them just as a man spares his son who serves him. ¹⁸ Then you will again see the distinction between a righteous person and a wicked person, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.
