Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Ustedes han estado diciendo: '¿De qué sirve servir a Dios? ¿Qué ganamos con seguir sus mandamientos y andar tristes y afligidos delante del Señor?'
El pueblo se quejaba de que no veía beneficio en servir a Dios y obedecer sus mandamientos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of Malachi, around 430-400 BC, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were struggling to rebuild their society amid economic hardships and spiritual complacency. The people were expressing frustration with God's promises, questioning whether their obedience and rituals were worthwhile since they weren't experiencing the prosperity they expected. This verse captures a widespread attitude of doubt among the post-exilic community, who felt that serving God was futile without tangible benefits.
