Malachi / Question
Question source
Malachi
Malachi quotes the people saying that those who do evil are good in God’s sight and that God delights in them Malachi 2:17. The question "Where is the God of justice?" is presented as part of speech that wearies the LORD Malachi 2:17. It sets up the response about God’s coming to judge Malachi 3:1.
17You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and he delights in them; or where is the God of justice?
1Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes, says Yahweh of hosts.
