Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Against their blasphemous murmuring that God has deceived or forsaken them, I assert that His covenant shall not fail. Though men are perfidious, God remains true to His own nature and cannot depart from it; He triumphs gloriously over their slanders by accomplishing His promises in their due time.

Commenting on Malachi 3:1-18
These people gather in clubs against religion, sharpening their wits to mock and ridicule God's word, strengthening each other's hands in blasphemy. Their words are stout and loud, spoken proudly and without fear, designed to spread their atheism and infect the minds of others with contempt for Him.

Commenting on Malachi 3:13-18
The righteous are truly such through faith in Christ and His righteousness; the wicked remain wicked by nature. Yet hypocrites, scribes and Pharisees, masquerade as righteous while being rotten within. Their destruction and the preservation of believers made the distinction plain then; at the last day it shall be plainer still.
