Malachi 3:15 in Context — Malachi 3

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.

17 Ils seront à moi, dit l’Éternel des armées, Ils m’appartiendront, au jour que je prépare; J’aurai compassion d’eux, Comme un homme a compassion de son fils qui le sert.
