Malachi 3:16

But those who fear (revere) the Lord (Yahweh) have spoken to one another, and the Lord (Yahweh) has listened and heard them. And a book of remembrance (scroll of remembrance) was written before him for those who fear the Lord (Yahweh) and those who remember his name.
[Hebr. sefer zikaron memorial book is only used here in the entire Bible, but the idea that God has a book where events are written down is found in other places, see Ex. 32:32–34; Ps. 139:16; Isa. 4:3; 65:6; Ezek. 13:9. It was common for kings to keep records of important events, see Est. 2:23.]
