And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 3 of Malachi. A group appears that fears God and speaks with one another about him. God listens and records their names in a book, distinguishing between those who honor him and those who despise him. Quiet faithfulness is thus recognized by God even when it does not appear to be immediately rewarded.

«Ellos serán míos —dice Jehová de los ejércitos—, mi posesión especial el día en que yo actúe. Tendré compasión de ellos como un hombre tiene compasión de su hijo que le sirve.
Ils seront à moi, dit l'Eternel des armées, Ils m'appartiendront, au jour que je prépare; J'aurai compassion d'eux, Comme un homme a compassion de son fils qui le sert.
E quelli mi saranno, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti, nel giorno che io opererò, un tesoro riposto; ed io li risparmierò, come un uomo risparmia il suo figliuolo che lo serve.
E eles serão meus, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos; naquele dia serão para mim jóias; poupá-los-ei, como um homem poupa a seu filho, que o serve.
