Malachi 3:14-15
3:14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped
by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the
Lord who rules over all?
3:15 So now we consider the arrogant to be happy; indeed, those who practice evil are successful.
In fact, those who challenge
God escape!’”
Malachi 1:4

12:15 But after I have uprooted the people of those nations, I will relent
and have pity on them. I will restore the people of each of those nations to their own lands

Joel 2:14
2:14 Who knows?
Perhaps he will be compassionate and grant a reprieve,
and leave blessing in his wake –
a meal offering and a drink offering for you to offer to the Lord your God!
Zechariah 1:6
1:6 But have my words and statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, not outlived your fathers?
Then they paid attention
and confessed, ‘The
Lord who rules over all has indeed done what he said he would do to us, because of our sinful ways.’”
