Malachi 3:14 in Context — Malachi 3
12 Toutes les nations vous diront heureux, Car vous serez un pays de délices, Dit l’Éternel des armées.
13 Vos paroles sont rudes contre moi, dit l’Éternel. Et vous dites: Qu’avons-nous dit contre toi?
14 Vous avez dit: C’est en vain que l’on sert Dieu; Qu’avons-nous gagné à observer ses préceptes, Et à marcher avec tristesse A cause de l’Éternel des armées?
15 Maintenant nous estimons heureux les hautains; Oui, les méchants prospèrent; Oui, ils tentent Dieu, et ils échappent!
16 Alors ceux qui craignent l’Éternel se parlèrent l’un à l’autre; L’Éternel fut attentif, et il écouta; Et un livre de souvenir fut écrit devant lui Pour ceux qui craignent l’Éternel Et qui honorent son nom.
