¹⁹ Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate^(A) and the olive tree have not borne fruit.^(B)

“‘From this day on I will bless^(C) you.’”

¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe^(A) into the storehouse,^(B) that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates^(C) of heaven and pour out^(D) so much blessing^(E) that there will not be room enough to store it.^(F)

³³ But seek first his kingdom^(A) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.^(B)

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

¹¹ But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as I did in the past,”^(A) declares the Lord Almighty.

¹² “The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit,^(B) the ground will produce its crops,^(C) and the heavens will drop their dew.^(D) I will give all these things as an inheritance^(E) to the remnant of this people.^{(F) 13} Just as you, Judah and Israel, have been a curse^[a](G) among the nations, so I will save^(H) you, and you will be a blessing.^[b](I) Do not be afraid,^(J) but let your hands be strong.^(K)”

¹⁴ This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Just as I had determined to bring disaster^(L) on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,” says the Lord Almighty, ¹⁵ “so now I have determined to do good^(M) again to Jerusalem and Judah.^(N) Do not be afraid.

¹⁰ Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;^(A) then because of this the Lord your God will bless^(B) you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
