Malachi 3:8-12

Good News Translation

⁸ I ask you, is it right for a person to cheat God? Of course not, yet you are cheating me. ‘How?’ you ask. In the matter of tithes and offerings. ⁹ A curse is on all of you because the whole nation is cheating me. ^10 (A)Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there will be plenty of food there. Put me to the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things. ¹¹ I will not let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes. ¹² Then the people of all nations will call you happy, because your land will be a good place to live.
