Malachi 3:5-12

5“Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the 1sorcerers and against the 2adulterers and against those who 3swear falsely, and against those who oppress the 4wage earner in his wages, the 5widow and the 6orphan, and those who turn aside the 78alien and do not 9fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts. 6“For 10I, the Lord, 11do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, 12are not consumed.

7“From the 13days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. 14Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

8“Will a man 15rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In 16tithes and 17offerings. 9You are 18cursed with a curse, for you are 19robbing Me, the whole nation of you! 1020Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be 21food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not 22open for you the windows of heaven and 23pour out for you a blessing until 2425it overflows. 11Then I will rebuke the 26devourer for you, so that it will not 27destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts. 12“28All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a 29delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.
