Malachi 3:7-15

7“From the 1days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. 2Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

8“Will a man 3rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In 4tithes and 5offerings. 9You are 6cursed with a curse, for you are 7robbing Me, the whole nation of you! 108Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be 9food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not 10open for you the windows of heaven and 11pour out for you a blessing until 1213it overflows. 11Then I will rebuke the 14devourer for you, so that it will not 15destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts. 12“16All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a 17delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.

13“Your words have been 18arrogant against Me,” says the Lord. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ 14You have said, ‘It is 19vain to serve God; and what 20profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the Lord of hosts? 15So now we 21call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and 22escape.’”
