Malachi 3:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ Ever since the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

Do Not Rob God

⁸ Will anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, ‘How are we robbing you?’ In your tithes and offerings! ⁹ You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me—the whole nation of you!
