MALACHI
[III
- And pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
- And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
- And he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
- Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
- And all nations shall call you blessed:
- For ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
- Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord.
- Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
- Ye have said, It is vain to serve God:
- And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance,
- And that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
- And now we call the proud happy;
- Yea, they that work wickedness are set up;
- Yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
- Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another:
- And the Lord hearkened, and heard it,
- And a book of remembrance was written before him
- For them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
