13. Your words have been strong against me,
14. You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked in mourning before the LORD of hosts?
15. And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are raised up; yea, they that test God are even delivered.
16. Then they that feared the LORD spoke 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.
17. And they shall be mine,
18. Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.
