Malachi 3:7-12

You Have Robbed God

7 “From the ^adays of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. ^bReturn to Me, and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
8 “Will a man ¹rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In ^atithes and ²contributions. 9 You are ^acursed with a curse, for you are ¹robbing Me, the whole nation of you! 10 ^aBring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be ¹food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not ^bopen for you the windows of heaven and ^cempty out for you a blessing until ²^dit is beyond enough. 11 Then I will rebuke the ^adevourer for you so that it will not corrupt the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field ¹fail to bear,” says Yahweh of hosts. 12 “^aSo all the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a ^bdelightful land,” says Yahweh of hosts.
