Malachi 3:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

The Special Time of Judgment

¹³ The Lord says, “You said cruel things to me.”

But you ask, “What did we say about you?”

¹⁴ You said, “It is useless to worship God. We did what the Lord All-Powerful told us, but we didn’t gain anything. We cried like people at a funeral to show we were sorry for our sins, but it didn’t help. ¹⁵ We think proud people are happy. Evil people succeed. They do evil things to test God’s patience, and God does not punish them.”
