Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

Verse 17 is found in chapter 2 of Malachi. The people have wearied God by declaring that those who do evil are good in his sight or by asking where the God of justice is. The accusation reveals a crisis of moral perception: the people question divine justice while their own conduct needs to be examined.

Ihr macht den HERRN unwillig durch eure Reden. So sprecht ihr: "Womit machen wir ihn unwillig?" damit daß ihr sprecht: "Wer Böses tut, der gefällt dem HERRN, und zu solchen hat er Lust", oder: "Wo ist der Gott, der da strafe?"
Habéis hecho cansar a Jehová con vuestras palabras. Y diréis: ¿En qué le hemos cansado? Cuando decís: Cualquiera que mal hace agrada a Jehová, y en los tales toma contentamiento: de otra manera, ¿dónde está el Dios de juicio?
Han cansado a Jehová con sus palabras. Y preguntan: «¿En qué lo hemos cansado?». Al decir: «Todo el que hace el mal es bueno a los ojos de Jehová, y él se complace en ellos», o: «¿Dónde está el Dios de la justicia?».
Vous fatiguez l'Eternel par vos paroles, Et vous dites: En quoi l'avons-nous fatigué? C'est en disant: Quiconque fait le mal est bon aux yeux de l'Eternel, Et c'est en lui qu'il prend plaisir! Ou bien: Où est le Dieu de la justice?
VOI avete travagliato il Signore con le vostre parole; e pur dite: In che l’abbiamo travagliato? In ciò che voi dite: Chiunque fa male piace al Signore, ed egli prende diletto in tali; ovvero: Ov’è l’Iddio del giudicio?
Enfadais ao SENHOR com vossas palavras; e ainda dizeis: Em que o enfadamos? Nisto que dizeis: Qualquer que faz o mal passa por bom aos olhos do SENHOR, e desses é que ele se agrada, ou, onde está o Deus do juízo?
你們用言語使耶和華厭煩,卻說:「我們在何事上使他厭煩呢?」因為你們說:「凡行惡的,耶和華看為善,並且喜愛他們;」又說:「公平的上帝在哪裏呢?」
