Then once again you will see the difference between an upright man and a wicked one, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him. I will make allowances for them as a man makes allowances for the son who obeys him. On the day which I am preparing, says the Lord of Hosts, they are going to be my own special possession.

Now we have reached the point when we call the arrogant blessed yes, they prosper, these evil-doers they try God’s patience and yet go free.’ This is what those who fear the Lord used to say to one another.
