  • 3:17 And 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. 1
  • 3:18 Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. 1
