Malachi 3:7-15

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.

13Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah; but ye say, What have we been speaking against thee?

14Ye say, It is vain to serve 2God; and what profit is it that we keep his charge, and that we walk mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?

15And now we hold the proud for happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt 3God, and they escape.
