Malachi 3:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 “Your words have been [a]arrogant against Me,” says the Lord. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14 You have said, ‘It is (A)vain to serve God; and what (B)profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the Lord of hosts? 15 So now we (C)call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and (D)escape.’”

New International Version
Israel Speaks Arrogantly Against God
13 “You have spoken arrogantly(A) against me,” says the Lord.
“Yet you ask,(B) ‘What have we said against you?’
14 “You have said, ‘It is futile(C) to serve(D) God. What do we gain by carrying out his requirements(E) and going about like mourners(F) before the Lord Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant(G) blessed. Certainly evildoers(H) prosper,(I) and even when they put God to the test, they get away with it.’”
