Malachi 3:7-12

English Standard Version

^7 (A)From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. ^(B)Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. ^(C)But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ ⁸ Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. ^(D)But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ ^(E)In your tithes and contributions. ^9 (F)You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. ^10 (G)Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby ^(H)put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open ^(I)the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. ¹¹ I will rebuke ^(J)the devourer^[a] for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. ¹² Then ^(K)all nations will call you blessed, for you will be ^(L)a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
