Malachi 3:13-16 You have brought heavy accusations against me, saith the Lord. Do you say, in what instance have we spoken against thee?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ You have brought heavy accusations against me, saith the Lord. Do you say, in what instance have we spoken against thee? ¹⁴ You say, "Vain is he who serveth God: and what advantage is it, that we have kept his charges. For though we have walked as supplicants before the Lord Almighty, ¹⁵ yet we now call strangers happy; and all that do unlawful things are built up. Though they opposed God; yet they are saved." ¹⁶ Against these things they who feared the Lord spoke to one another; and the Lord hearkened and heard and wrote a book of remembrance before him for them who fear the Lord and revere his name.
