Malachi 3:7-12 - Robbing God

⁷ From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says LORD of hosts. But ye say, How shall we return?

⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with the curse, for ye rob me, even this whole nation. ¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says LORD of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be ¹¹ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, nor shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says LORD of hosts. ¹² And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightful land, says LORD of hosts.
