12All nations shall call you happy; for you shall be a delightful land, says Yahweh of Hosts.
13Your words have been stout against me, says Yahweh. Yet you say, What have we spoken against you?
14You 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 Yahweh of Hosts?
15Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.
16Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and that thought on his name.
17They shall be my, says Yahweh of Hosts, [even] my own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
18Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn`t serve him.
