11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts.
12And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.
13Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?
14Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?
15And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and escape.
16Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name.
17And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, [even] mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
