7 “From the (A)days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and have not kept them. (B)Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of armies. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
You Have Robbed God
8 “Would anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In (C)tithes and [a]offerings. 9 You are (D)cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the entire nation of you! 10 (E)Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and put Me to the test now in this,” says the Lord of armies, “if I do not (F)open for you the windows of heaven and (G)pour out for you a blessing until [b](H)it overflows. 11 Then I will rebuke the (I)devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground; nor will the vine in the field prove fruitless to you,” says the Lord of armies. 12 “(J)All the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a (K)delightful land,” says the Lord of armies.

Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates(J) of heaven and pour out(K) so much blessing(L) that there will not be room enough to store it.(M) 11 I will prevent pests from devouring(N) your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,(O)” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed,(P) for yours will be a delightful land,”(Q) says the Lord Almighty.(R)
