Malachi 3:14 in Context — Malachi 3
12 E todas as nações vos chamarão bem-aventurados; porque vós sereis terra agradável,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
13 Vossas palavras têm sido duras contra mim,diz o SENHOR. Mas vós dizeis: O que temos falado contra ti?
14 Vós dizeis: É inútil servir a Deus; pois que proveito [temos tido] em guardarmos seus mandamentos e andarmos lamentando diante do SENHOR dos exércitos?
15 Chamemos de sortudos os soberbos, pois os que praticam perversidade prosperam; mesmo tentando a Deus, eles escapam.
16 Então aqueles que temeram ao SENHOR falaram cada um a seu próximo, e o SENHOR prestou atenção e ouviu; e foi escrito um livro de memória diante dele para os que temem ao SENHOR, e para os que se honraram o seu nome.
