Malachi 3:13-16 Hard against Me have been your words, Said Jehovah, and ye have said: `What have we spoken against Thee?'

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Hard against Me have been your words, Said Jehovah, and ye have said: `What have we spoken against Thee?' ¹⁴ Ye have said, `A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of Jehovah of Hosts? ¹⁵ And now, we are declaring the proud happy, Yea, built up have been those doing wickedness, Yea they have tempted God, and escape.' ¹⁶ Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another, And Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming His name.
