Malachi 3:15 in Context — Malachi 3

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.

17 E eles serão minha propriedade especial no dia que eu preparo,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos; e os pouparei como o homem que poupa a seu filho que lhe serve.
