12
And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith HaShem of hosts.
13
Your words have been all too strong against Me, saith HaShem. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we spoken against thee?'
14
Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve G-d; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked mournfully because of HaShem of hosts?
15
And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they try G-d, and are delivered.'
16
Then they that feared HaShem spoke one with another; and HaShem hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared HaShem, and that thought upon His name.
17
And they shall be Mine, saith HaShem of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18
Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth G-d and him that serveth Him not.
