THEY DO NOT FEAR ME, | THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD, |
A list of accusations was made | A book of remembrance was written |
They denied His love, | The LORD listened, |
They despised His name, | The LORD promised blessing, |
They defiled His altar, | The Lord promised judgment, |
They wearied Him: By breaking the covenant of Levi, | The LORD promised revival, |
The Messenger of the Covenant, | |
They refused His appeals, | |
They robbed His tithes, | |
They resented His service, |
