Malachi 3:7-12 - Robbing God

⁷ For from the days of your fathers ye departed from my laws, and ye watched not. Turn back to me and I will turn back to you, said Jehovah of armies. And ye said, In what shall we turn back?

⁸ Will man defraud God? For ye defraud me. And ye said, In what did we defraud thee? The tenths and the offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: and ye defrauded me, the nation all of it ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tenths to the house of treasure, and food shall be in my house, and try me now in this, said Jehovah of armies, if I will not open to you the lattices of the heavens, and empty out to you a blessing, even is it not a sufficiency. ¹¹ And I rebuked upon the eater for you, and he shall not corrupt for you the fruit of the earth; and the vine in the field shall not be barren to you, says Jehovah of armies. ¹² And all nations pronounced you happy, for ye shall be a land of delight, said Jehovah of armies.
