13. Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein have we spoken against thee?
14. Ye 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 the LORD of hosts?
15. And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and are delivered.
16. Then they that feared the LORD spake one with another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
