Malachi 2:17

Italian 2020 (La Sacra Bibbia Versione Riveduta 2020 (R2))

Voi stancate l’Eterno con le vostre parole, eppure dite: “In che modo lo stanchiamo?”. In questo, che dite: “Chiunque fa il male è gradito all’Eterno, il quale si compiace di lui!” o quando dite: “Dov’è l’Iddio di giustizia?”.

Cosa significa?

This verse is the Lord speaking through Malachi to the people. He says they have wearied Him with their words, questioning why He allows evil to seem good and where the God of judgment is. The key message is that God is not pleased when His people deny His justice.

Spiegato ai bambini

Imagine if you were playing a game and your friend kept saying unfair things aren't wrong. You'd get tired of hearing it, right? That's what God is feeling. He wants us to know that good and evil are real, just like in the games we play.

Contesto storico

Malachi wrote this during the post-exilic period, around 430 BC, addressing the second generation after the Babylonian exile. The audience was the returning Jews who had grown complacent and were questioning God's justice.

Applicazione per oggi

Today, when we see injustice or evil being rewarded, it can make us question God’s fairness. This verse reminds us that even if things don't seem fair now, God sees all and will judge rightly in His time.
