TSK · Malachi 3:13

Who among all the gods of these nations whom my predecessors annihilated was able to rescue his people from my power, that your God would be able to rescue you from my power?

What man is like Job, who drinks derision like water!

He says to himself,“God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

They say,“Let him hurry, let him act quickly, so we can see; let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take shape and come to pass, then we will know it!”

Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at? At whom have you shouted and looked so arrogantly? At the Holy One of Israel!

You exalted yourselves against me with your speech and hurled many insults against me– I have heard them all!

Yet you ask,“Why?” The LORD is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.

Can a person rob God? You indeed are robbing me, but you say,‘How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and contributions!

He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God’s temple, displaying himself as God.
