Malachi 3:5-12

5“Then I will comeH7126 nearH7126 to you for judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the 1sorcerersH3784, the 2adulterersH5003, against those who 3swearH7650 falselyH8267, those who 4oppressH6231 the 5wageH7916 earnerH7916 in his wagesH7939 or the 6widowH490 or the 7orphanH3490, and those who turnH5186 awayH5186 the 8strangerH1616 from justice and do not 9fearH3372 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. 6“For 10I, the LordH3068, 11do not changeH8132; therefore you, the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, have not comeH3615 toH3615 anH3615 endH3615.

7“From the 12daysH3117 of your fathersH1 you have turnedH5493 awayH5493 from My statutesH2706 and have not keptH8104 them. 13ReturnH7725 to Me, and I will returnH7725 to you,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 shall we returnH7725?’

8“Would anyoneH120 robH6906 GodH430? YetH3588 you are robbingH6906 Me! But you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 have we robbedH6906 You?’ In 14tithesH4643 and 15offeringsH8641. 9You are 16cursedH779 with a curseH3994, for you are robbingH6906 Me, the entireH3605 nationH1471 of you! 1017BringH935 the wholeH3605 titheH4643 into the storehouseH1004H214, so that there may be foodH2964 in My houseH1004, and putH974 Me toH974 theH974 testH974 nowH4994 in thisH2088,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “ifH518 I do not 18openH6605 for you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 and 19pourH7385 outH7385 for you a blessingH1293 untilH5704 2021it overflowsH1097H1767. 11Then I will rebukeH1605 the 22devourerH398 for you, so that it will not destroyH7843 the fruitH6529 of your groundH127; norH3808 will the vineH1612 in the fieldH7704 proveH7921 fruitlessH7921 to you,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. 12“23AllH3605 the nationsH1471 will callH833 you blessedH833, for you will be a 24delightfulH2656 landH776,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
