Malachi 3:5-12

5And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hired servant in [his] wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts.

6For I Jehovah change not, and ye, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

7Since the days of your fathers have ye departed from my statutes, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return?

8Will a man rob 1God? But ye rob me. And ye say, Wherein do we rob thee? [In] tithes and heave-offerings.

9Ye are cursed with a curse; and me ye rob, [even] this whole nation.

10Bring the whole tithe into the treasure-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I open not to you the windows of the heavens, and pour you out a blessing, till there be no place for it.

11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts.

12And all nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.
