Malachi 2:17
Thomson 1808
You have provoked God with your sayings. And do you ask, By what have we provoked Him? By your saying, Every one doing evil doth that which is good in the sight of the Lord. Now were He well pleased with such, where then is the God of Righteousness?
Brenton 1851
ye that have provoked God with your words. But ye said, Wherein have we provoked him? In that ye say, Every one that does evil is a pleasing object in the sight of the Lord, and he takes pleasure in such; and where is the God of justice?
Greek · Brenton
οἱ παροξύναντες τὸν Θεὸν ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ὑμῶν· καὶ εἴπατε, ἐν τίνι παρωξύναμεν αὐτόν; ἐν τῷ λέγειν ὑμᾶς, πᾶς ποιῶν πονηρὸν, καλὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς εὐδόκησε, καί ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς τῆς δικαιοσύνης;
